Ensaladilla Rusa

Ensaladilla Rusa is popular throughout Spain as a salad side or a starter along with some crusty bread. And being composed of potato, mayo and shrimp, surprisingly tasty as a sandwich filler too.
You'll find this one all over the world as each region (such as the I's: Italy, Iran and Israel) adds their own twist to the recipe.Here we bring you the Andalucían version from our favourite seafood sit-down restaurant, Cunini. 

​What we're aiming for:

A large side salad or starter enough for about 6 servings
Crusty baguette for scooping up the mayo'y potato


​The Components:

  • 300g of shrimp, cleaned and peeled
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled and ready for mincing
  • 1 large red skin potato, cut into cubes (you can use new potatoes if you prefer or peel first, but we love the extra colour)
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 1 large handful of chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise (you can make your own or spoon from a jar)
  • 2 tablespoons of creme fraiche
  • 2 teaspoons of dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil for cooking​​

The Algorithm:

For the shrimp:
- Add a good few glugs of olive oil to a frying pan on a medium heat
- Mince in the clove of garlic and let it sizzle in the oil for about a minute until you can smell that glorious fragrance of it cooking
- Increase the heat to high and add the shrimp
- Stir until the shrimp looks like it's cooked all the way through and opaque, about 3 minutes
- Turn off the heat, set aside and let cool while you make the rest of the recipe 

For the potatoes and the rest: 
​- Boil the potato cubes until a knife can slip through them, You don't want them to be tooo done

- In a large bowl, add the potato, shallot, parsley and shrimp
- Then spoon in the mayonnaise, creme fraiche and mustard
- Season with salt and pepper.  


- Mix well - keeping the chunks of potato if you can. If it tends towards a mash, that's ok too. There's plenty of shrimp to create a lumpy salad.


Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to cool nicely, then serve with some crusty bread!
