Chef Michael Scelfo of Russell House Tavern shows you a quick, easy recipe for a shrimp salad using seasonal produce and herbs. Very flexible and versatile. If you don't have shrimp on hand, chicken, steak, fish -- just about anything -- would be an excellent substitute.
In a small saute pan over medium heat, add olive oil and shrimp. Cook until pink, seasoning with salt and pepper, about 1 minute per side
Remove the pan from the heat and toss the shrimp with tarragon and garlic
In a medium bowl, add tomatoes and a bit of salt. Mix well, then add onion, corn, the shrimp mixture, parsley, lime juice and the rest of the olive oil. Mix well, add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately
