Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh chervil leaves, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon total)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
18 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact
1 cup frozen petit peas, thawed
8 ounces snow peas, trimmed and cut lengthwise diagonally into thin strips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler. Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the chervil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper.

    Step 2

    Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Place the shrimp on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil; broil until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 2 hours.

    Step 3

    Combine the peas, snow peas, shrimp, and remaining vinaigrette; toss. Refrigerate in an airtight container (or store in a chilled cooler) until ready to serve, up to 3 hours. Toss before serving.
