Recipes: Spicy Lime Mayo - Shrimp with Citrus Chipotle Vinaigrette

Here's the party setup for this past weekend.  Saturday was amazing .... ALL my regulars were here at once PLUS my husband and granddaughter.  I wish I had time to take a picture.  But, Susan and I were fast and furious putting out samples.  Because of all this activity, more customers were attracted to the sample table; they had to see what was going on.  GREAT exposure for the products I was sampling.

Shrimp is on sale all this month, so I sampled all things shrimp.

Getting to the recipes ... As always, let's begin with the hands down favorite ...

Hank Sauce - Cilanktro  (NO this is NOT a misspelling!)

Perfect bite.

I prepared Hank's Spicy Lime Mayo recipe and used it to top a colorful little bite of: Sweety Drop Peppers, Cocktail Shrimp, Avocado, and a garnish of Cilantro.  

Spicy Lime Mayo

1 c. mayo

juice of 2 limes

8 tsp. Hank Sauce Cilanktro, or to taste

salt to taste

Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until thoroughly incorporated.

On a frill pick put 

     1 Sweety Drop Pepper

     1 cooked shrimp, cleaned and deveined

     1 cube avocado

Place on serving dish.  Drizzle with Spicy Lime Mayo and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Customers LOVED this.  Just the right amount of heat, perfect combination of ingredients, and colorful.

You can also use Spicy Lime Mayo on sandwiches, top your nachos, drizzle on meat, chicken, fish ...

I've always enjoyed La Tourangelle's flavorful oils.  Now they are making salad dressings.  

La Tourangelle Citrus Chipotle Vinaigrette

Saturday - Party Bites

Sunday - Salad

Both samplings for La Tourangelle were very colorful.  Nice citrus flavor with chipotle.

Party Bites

On a frill pick put 

     1 small tomato

     1 cooked shrimp, cleaned and deveined

     1 cube avocado

Place on serving dish.  Drizzle with Citrus Chipotle Vinaigrette and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Salad

1 clam shell arugula

1/4 c. chopped cilantro

1 clam shell small tomatoes, cut in half

1 avocado, diced

3 oz. Manchego cheese, diced

1/2 lb. cooked shrimp, cleaned and deveined

1 bottle La Tourangelle Organic Citrus Chipotle Vinaigrette

salt to taste

Place all ingredients, except vinaigrette and salt in salad bowl.  Season with salt.  Add vinaigrette.  Toss to thoroughly coat.  Serve.

Both days, customers enjoyed La Tourangelle's vinaigrette.  I found it very interesting that sampling it as a salad held more appeal to customers.  Hmmm....
