Broccoli Shrimp Salad image

This is a recipe I got several years ago. I thought it was one my mother made, but my sister doesn't remember it at all, so I must have got it from someone when I was in college. It is a favorite of mine and I hope you enjoy it.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 c broccoli, cut in smallish pieces (you can use both stems and florets)
1-2 can(s) small to medium shrimp
1 can(s) water chestnuts, sliced
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 c mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. You can use the quantity of broccoli that you would like, this recipe is pretty flexible.
  • 2. You can use the broccoli raw, but I prefer to blanch it. To blanch the broccoli bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Place the broccoli in the water making sure all broccoli is under water and leave for only 1 minute. Then drain the water from the broccoli and put in ice water to stop the cooking.
  • 3. Put the broccoli in a bowl and add the chopped onion, shrimp that has been rinsed, water chestnuts (rinsed), and mayonnaise. Stir together and add salt and pepper to taste.
