Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your shrimps are not pre-cooked, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the shrimps and cook for 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and are opaque.
- Drain the shrimps and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once cooled, drain the shrimps thoroughly and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Add the finely chopped coriander leaves and red hot chili peppers to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir to incorporate everything evenly.
- In a large serving bowl or a few individual serving glasses, divide the chopped spinach evenly.
- Arrange the cooked shrimps on top of the spinach.
- Spoon the coriander and chili mayonnaise sauce over the shrimps, ensuring they are coated nicely.
- Garnish with a few extra coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimp are deveined and cleaned properly before cooking for the best texture and taste.
- For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the coriander leaves with the mayonnaise and lime juice.
- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers to suit your desired level of spiciness. Removing the seeds can also reduce the heat.
- Chill the shrimp cocktail in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish with extra coriander leaves and lime wedges for a fresh and attractive presentation.
Your coriander and chilli shrimp cocktail is now ready to be served and enjoyed. This dish strikes the perfect balance between spice and freshness, making it a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the deliciously succulent shrimp.
