Recipe: Georgia Cracker Salad (shrimp version)

GEORGIA CRACKER SALAD

1 pound shrimp (do not peel)
1 sleeve saltine crackers
2 cups mayonnaise
1 large tomato, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 hard-boiled, finely chopped
1 head Boston leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and separated into leaves
Pimiento slices, for garnish (optional)
Cucumber slices (optional)

Boil up the shrimp for 2-3 minutes in salty or seasoned water in a pot. Next, peel and clean the shrimp, removing the tails. If they're large, you can chop them coarsely.

Crush the crackers, combine the mayonnaise, tomato, green onions, and egg, add the crackers, then immediately fold the warm shrimp into the salad and serve on lettuce leaves. Garnish with pimiento and cucumber slices, if desired.
