Mixed Plate Recipe

Prepare Boiled Eggs

Begin by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Once cooked, cool the eggs in cold water before peeling. Set aside.

Cook Shrimp

Next, cook the shrimp. Clean and devein the shrimp. In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque—about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Make Mixed Salad

For the mixed salad, chop vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, and any herbs of your choice. Toss these in a large bowl. You can add a simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the dressing to taste.

Prepare Grain or Rice Salad

Cook your choice of grain or rice as per the package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool. Mix with a selection of your favorite vegetables, herbs, and a light dressing. Season well.

Assemble the Dish

To assemble, start with a base of the grain or rice salad. Next, add the mixed salad. Slice the boiled eggs in halves or quarters and arrange on the salad. Lastly, add the cooked shrimp on top. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more dressing or mayonnaise before serving.
