"This is a favorite Christmas or special occasion dish in my household. The German consul's wife where I live, who is a reputed gourmet cook, was kind enough to share it with me and others who raved about it during a sit-down dinner she offered."

ingredients

  • 1 lb clean cooked baby shrimp
  • 2 12 ripe sliced bananas (it's important that the bananas'peel look evenly freckled to insure sweet taste, though they should)
  • 13 cup drained green peas (can use less or more, according to your palate)
  • 12 cup your favorite mayonnaise
  • 14 cup undiluted evaporated milk (or more according to desired consistency)

directions

  • Dump shrimp into salad bowl.
  • Add drained cooked green peas.
  • Just before serving, add the peeled,sliced bananas (if done earlier than just before serving, banana might oxidize and look dark, though taste is not affected).
  • Mix mayonnaise and evaporated milk to make a creamy dressing and stir into previous ingredients.
  • No need for salt since shrimp is already usually salty.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
