1. Create Flavorful Base
Start by filling a small saucepan with water and adding a lemon wedge, reserved onion trimmings, and dill stems. Bring this to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
2. Steam Potatoes
While the water simmers, steam the potatoes until they are tender, which should take about 15 minutes. Once done, transfer them to a colander and then into a large bowl. Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with the warm potatoes to infuse them with a bright citrus flavor.
3. Steam Green Beans
Next, steam the green beans until they are tender-crisp, around 6 minutes. Transfer them to the colander and then add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
4. Prepare Dressing
For the dressing, combine the mustard and the remaining lemon juice in a small bowl. As you whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until well combined. Pour this dressing over the warm potatoes and green beans, and gently mix to coat. Add the finely chopped green onions and minced dill, stirring to incorporate these fresh flavors.
5. Cook Shrimp
Return your attention to the saucepan of simmering water. Bring it back to a boil, season with salt, and add the shrimp. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and curled, indicating they are perfectly cooked. Drain the shrimp well.
6. Combine and Serve
Cut the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the vegetables. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. Season with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve the Lemon-Dill Shrimp and Vegetable Toss immediately, enjoying the medley of fresh and vibrant flavors.
Lemon and dill are a classic pairing, but other herbs and citrus can be used to create different flavor profiles. Consider: . Lemon-Basil
While not always included in a toss, adding a carbohydrate can turn it into a more filling meal. Some options are: . Pasta
The sauce might typically be a simple mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs. This can be customized to create different sauces: . Creamy Lemon-Dill
The recipe likely includes a variety of vegetables that can be sautéed or steamed. You can swap these out based on seasonality or preference, maintaining a blend of textures and colors. For instance: . Summer
Instead of sautéing, try roasting or grilling the vegetables before tossing them with the shrimp. This will introduce a smoky, caramelized flavor that can really change the character of the dish.
