Shrimp Salad Lemon Baskets Recipe

Prep: 55 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

55 55

Ingredients

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 cups cold water
1 cup mayonnaise
6 medium lemons
1 package (5 ounces) frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed, divided
1/2 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber
1/4 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
12 sprigs fresh parsley

Directions

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat; whisk in mayonnaise. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until partially set.
Cut lemons in half; juice lemons, reserving 3 tablespoons juice (save remaining juice for another use). Scoop out and discard pulp. With a sharp knife, cut a thin slice off the bottom of each lemon basket so it sits flat; set aside.
Set aside 2 dozen shrimp for garnish; chop remaining shrimp. In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, olives, sugar, horseradish, salt, paprika and reserved lemon juice; fold into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped shrimp and whipped cream.
Spoon into lemon baskets. Garnish with parsley and reserved shrimp. Chill until set. Yield: 1 dozen.
