National Chardonnay Day is the Thursday before Memorial Day:

  • In celebration of the great Chardonnay grape and recent National Chardonnay day, this light yet flavorful salad will delight palates everywhere. The perfect pairing for a delightful Chardonnay wine, shrimp are delicately sauteed in citrus of lime, orange, and lemon juice with a hint of white pepper and then chilled. Once chilled, the citrus shrimp are tossed with fresh shaved vegetables of zucchini, parsnips, carrot, and red onion and an herb shallot vinaigrette.
  • Chardonnay can have lovely floral and honey tones with soft hints of green apple, oak and one of my favorite ingredients, lemon zest.

Ingredients

For shrimp:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deviened
juice of 1/2 large lemon
juice of 1 large lime
juice of 1/2 medium orange
pinch of white pepper
For herb shallot vinaigrette:
1 medium shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh chopped tarragon
Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions
