Appetizer Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, jumbo lump crab meat, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and chopped basil leaves.

  3. 3

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the shrimp and crab mixture and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the appetizer to a serving platter and garnish with extra basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
