Endive Shrimp Boats

A few years ago, we watched Giada of Food Network fame make this tasty little shrimp and endive appetizer, and at some point prepared them at home, for dinner. They're darling little pale green canoes, stuffed with shrimp cargo and ready to set sail. Our Endive Shrimp Boats were quite delicious, in a light-meal-on-a-balmy-summer-evening kind of way... and healthy too! Here's the recipe.

Shrimp mixture:

Shrimp, sauteed in a little olive oil , 2 min on each side, drain.

Squeeze juice of one lime over shrimp and then chop them up a bit.

Chop up a fistful each of tarragon, chives and capers, mix with shrimp, set aside.

Sauce :

Puree in a food processor a generous handful of washed parsley .

Mix with 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, or 1/4 yogurt and 1/4 sour cream.

Peel away the outer leaves of an endive and arrange in rows on a serving plate.

Fill each endive cup with the shrimp mixture, top with yogurt parsley sauce.

This was an excellent, easy to make, and healthy meal! We ate it with a spinach salad with a few onions/toasted walnuts mixed in, splashed with vinaigrette.
