Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise: Choose a high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley: Finely chopped to add a burst of green and fresh flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons capers: Rinsed and chopped for a tangy, briny kick.
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano: Adds a subtle herbaceous note.
  • 1 clove garlic: Minced to infuse the dish with a rich, aromatic essence.
  • 1 pound medium shrimp: Peeled, deveined, and cooked; these will be the star of the dish.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Green Mayo: In a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped parsley, capers, dried oregano, and minced garlic. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a vibrant green mayo with a delightful blend of flavors.

  2. Add the Shrimp: Gently fold in the cooked shrimp until they are completely coated with the green mayo mixture. Be careful not to break the shrimp as you mix.

  3. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and ensures the dish is chilled and refreshing.

  4. Serve: Arrange the shrimp in green mayo on a platter, and provide stacks of colorful napkins and fancy toothpicks for easy serving. Guests can enjoy this delightful tapas treat without the need for additional dishes or cutlery.
