Cooking method

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:

Boil the eggs ahead of time: cover the raw eggs with cold water, set them on the stove, bring to a boil, and cook for 5–7 minutes. Drain off the hot water and run cold water over them so they cool faster, then peel. Grate the cheese on the medium side of a grater.
Step 2:

Set out suitably sized coupe glasses. Grate the eggs and spread them as the first layer in the bottom of each glass.
Step 3:

Spread a little mayonnaise over the egg layer.
Step 4:

Add the shrimp as the next layer. If you're using frozen shrimp, cook them first. I'm using ready-to-eat salad shrimp here — they come in brine, which you just drain off before adding them to the salad.
Step 5:

Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Quarter each one and add them as the next layer, then spread a little mayonnaise over them.
Step 6:

Top the salad with the grated cheese. Chill the finished salad briefly in the fridge and serve. Enjoy!

Not so long ago, shrimp salads were something unusual and a bit exotic for us. Now this ingredient surprises no one — you can find shrimp in any store, raw, frozen, or fully cooked. Seafood is great for a balanced diet; shrimp in particular are high in protein (even beef can't match them) while having almost no carbs. They're good for you thanks to their low fat content, and they contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. In salads, shrimp pair most often with eggs, cheese, tomatoes, corn, and fresh herbs. Any salad with them can be made in individual portions or in one big bowl.
