Main Ingredients- 8 Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup Blanched Broccoli florets
Toasted Sesame Mayo Dressing- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 0.5 Tbsp Toasted Black Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 0.5 Tbsp Toasted Black Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, blanch them in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes until tender-crisp, then immediately rinse with cold water and set aside. Peel and devein the shrimp, rinsing them clean.
Step 2
Boil the prepared shrimp for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, completely remove the shells and use a skewer or toothpick to remove the dark intestinal tract for a cleaner taste and appearance.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, coconut sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, toasted sesame seeds, toasted black sesame seeds, and salt. Whisk or stir until everything is well incorporated and the dressing is smooth and creamy. Coconut sugar adds a subtle sweetness and unique flavor profile.
Step 4
Place the blanched broccoli florets and the prepared shrimp into a larger mixing bowl. Ensure the broccoli is not overcooked; a slight crunch will provide a better texture.
Step 5
Pour the prepared Toasted Sesame Mayo Dressing generously over the shrimp and broccoli in the bowl.
Step 6
Gently toss the ingredients using a spatula or spoon, being careful not to mash the shrimp or broccoli. Mix until all pieces are evenly coated with the delicious dressing. Your healthy and flavorful Shrimp and Broccoli Salad with Coconut Sugar Mayo is now ready to be enjoyed!
