👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️
Potatoes,
shrimp
carrots
eggs
corn kernels,
lettuce
sea salt and black pepper
low-fat salad dressing

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Wash and cut the potatoes and carrots into chunks. Place them in a steamer along with the eggs and steam until cooked. This usually takes about 15 - 20 minutes, depending on the size of the ingredients and the steamer's heat.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and curl up, and the corn kernels are tender, which takes about 3 - 5 minutes for the corn.
Remove the steamed potatoes, carrots, and eggs. Use a spoon or a potato masher to mash them into a smooth consistency.
Wash and chop the lettuce. Add it to the mashed potatoes along with the corn kernels, shrimp, an appropriate amount of sea salt and black pepper, and low-fat salad dressing. Stir well to combine.
Finally, plate the salad and sprinkle a small amount of sesame seeds and chopped parsley as a garnish.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Adjust the steaming time according to your personal preference for texture. For a creamier texture, you can extend the steaming time for the potatoes and carrots.
After cooking the shrimp and corn kernels, quickly rinse them in cold water to maintain the shrimp's tenderness and the corn kernels' crispness.
You can choose different brands and flavors of low-fat salad dressing based on your taste preferences. Alternatively, you can use yogurt as a substitute to add a unique flavor.
