Ingredients

  • Crinkly leaf lettuce
  • Baby carrots, cut battonette
  • Celery, cut battonette
  • Baby cucumbers, sliced long and oval
  • Radishes, jagged-cut to resemble flowers
  • Cooked jumbo shrimp
  • Green onions
  • 1 each of orange, red and yellow pepper, cut in rounds
  • Parsley

Directions

  1. Lay a base of leaf lettuce from the center of the plate out, so the frilly leaves adorn the edges of the tray.
  2. Add rings of sweet peppers alternately, in a color pattern
  3. Gently place green onions under sections of the rings in whatever pattern you desire.
  4. I usually start with a ‘square’ shape, then in between, insert more onions to fan out.
  5. Add leaf-sliced baby cucumbers to resemble ‘petals’ on the base
  6. Add a ring design of the shrimp, tails all headed the same way
  7. In the interim, soak the other veggies in a cold water bath, with about 1 tbsp lemon juice added to crisp and prevent yellowing
  8. The radishes are cut by hand in ‘flower’ design using a small paring knife
