Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Poach the Shrimp

    In a pot of boiling salted water, add the Gulf shrimp and poach for about 3-4 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the water and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the shrimp cools, prepare the vegetables by dicing the cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, mustard seeds, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the poached shrimp, diced vegetables, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.
