Cannellini Celery Root Salad With Shrimp
Ingredients
1 celery root (or celeriac), about 1 lb (rinsed)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 fresh garlic cloves
1 1/2 lb large peeled/deveined shrimp (thawed, if needed)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 (19-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
3 ounces baby arugula leaves (rinsed)
2 tablespoons white truffle (or regular) balsamic glaze
1 lemon (for juice, rinsed)
Steps
- Trim rough skin from celery root. Slice celery root into very thin slices. Stack slices and cut into thin matchsticks (about 2 cups); place in medium bowl and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Crush garlic, using garlic press, into medium bowl. Use knife to remove garlic from bottom of press. Add shrimp (wash hands); sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook 2–4 minutes, stirring often, or just until shrimp begin to turn pink and opaque.
- While shrimp cooks, add to celery root: beans, arugula (3 cups packed), balsamic glaze, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Squeeze juice of lemon over salad; toss until well blended.
- Add shrimp (along with any pan juices); toss to combine and serve.
