French-Style Shrimp Salad
Assemble this shrimp salad in individual servings, or arrange it on a platter and serve family style. Niçoise olives are a small purplish-black variety; you can substitute kalamata. Serve with crusty French bread. This dish is a twist on the classic salade niçoise with tuna.
How to Make It
Step 1
To prepare vinaigrette, drop garlic through food chute with food processor on; process until minced. Add broth and next 7 ingredients (through black pepper); process until well blended.
Step 2
To prepare salad, combine 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and shrimp in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes, turning bag occasionally to coat shrimp.
Step 3
Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 8 minutes. Add haricots verts to pan; cook 2 additional minutes or until haricots verts are crisp-tender and potatoes are tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Remove the shrimp from bag, and discard marinade. Add shrimp to pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are done.
Step 5
Combine potatoes, haricots verts, greens, lettuce, bell pepper, tomatoes, and artichokes in a large bowl. Add remaining vinaigrette, tossing gently to coat. Place lettuce mixture on a serving platter. Arrange shrimp and eggs over lettuce mixture; sprinkle with olives and capers. Serve immediately.

WAY TO MUCH GARLIC. this dressing ruined the entire salad. would never make this again.

This was a delicious dinner! 2 pounds of shrimp is way to much for the 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette, but other than that, there was so much flavor and every part of the salad was great together or on their own! I loved it and will definitely make this salad again.

This was a good solid recipe. It was a lot of prep work of cutting and slicing though. I was looking to an easy summer dish to beat the heat. It beat the heat to eat but not to prepare!!

This was excellent. It does take quite a bit of prep time, but it is worth it. Great for a weekend meal. I hard-boiled the eggs the night before. Next time (and there WILL be a next time,) I will boil the red potatoes and green beans in advance, while I am boiling the eggs, and refrigerate them all overnight.
