How to Make Shrimp And Mirliton Dressing

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion, 2 stalks celery, and 2 cloves garlic. A food processor can be used for faster prep.
  2. Melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium heat until it stops foaming.
  3. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional).
  6. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  7. Gently stir in 2 cups of cooked mirliton, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  8. Remove from heat and let the dressing cool slightly before serving.
