Your Ingredients

Toss some peeled deveined pieces of shrimp into a bowl with garlic, fennel seeds, lemon juice, and salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, tarragon, and salt and pepper. Bathe the mixture in oil.

Prepare The Shrimp

Boil a medium pot of water and fill a separate bowl with ice water. Add shrimp to the boiling water and allow to simmer until are just barely opaque throughout. This could take around 30 to 90 seconds. Then, transfer to the ice water to cool off.

Serving The Salad
