Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and devined (31-40 per lb)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh, more to taste
1 tablespoon tarragon, fresh, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
kosher salt
black pepper
2 cups apples, diced (preferably Fuji)
2 cups red grapes, seedless and halved
1 1/2 cups celery, diced
1/3 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted
1 tablespoon chives, thinly sliced
12 butter lettuce leaves

Steps:

Put the shrimp in a steamer basket over simmering water and steam until just cooked through, about 3 minutes (the centre should still be slightly translucent). Let cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, tarragon and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the shrimp into pieces and mix in a large bowl with the apples, grapes, celery, and almonds. Toss with enough of the dressing to coat the ingredients well.
Taste and add more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed.
Sprinkle the salad on beds of lettuce leaves . Serve.
