Not a C@H recipe, but oh my this is so tasty, so easy and fast to put together - we thoroughly enjoyed it!!
You don't see the peas, 'cause I forgot them until after I'd taken the darn picture!!
Easy Shrimp Paella Salad
Serves 4 (more like 6 or 8)
6 oz. pkg. saffron rice mix
1/2 lb. cooked medium shrimp
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Caesar salad dressing
Prepare saffron rice mix as directed on pkg. In serving bowl, combine all ingredients except for mayonnaise and salad dressing. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise and salad dressing and mix well. Drizzle over salad and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
I prepped the shrimp using the garlic roasted shrimp method and after 3 minutes, I turned them over and added the cubed chicken to the mix and tossed to get all the ‘goop’ mixed with the chicken also; then finished the last 2 minutes of cooking. Scraped all that goodness into the salad.
This was so good!!! Along with W.W. Focaccia bread.
