Seafood Capellini Salad
Serves 3-4
This is a wonderful side dish salad or can be served as a light main entrée.
Ingredients:
- 1 package capellini pasta
- 1 1/4 lbs small fresh shrimp – divided
- 1 bunch green onions – sliced
- 1 red bell pepper – chopped fine
- 3 stalks celery – chopped fine
- 1/2 bunch parsley – chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic – minced
- 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Endive spears
Preparation:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water, drain and toss with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cool, toss with 1 lb shrimp and remaining ingredients, excluding the endive and 1/4 lb of shrimp for garnish. Taste and add a bit more vinegar or salt and pepper to your liking.
Place endive spears on plate and spoon a generous helping of pasta on top. Pile the extra shrimp on top for a pretty presentation.
