Shrimp cocktail salad is an elegant dish of European cuisine that combines freshness and sophistication. Its roots trace back to a time when presentation was as important as taste. Tender shrimp harmonize with crunchy cucumbers and sweet-sour apple, enhanced by lemon juice for freshness. The layered structure in a tall glass turns it into a true gastronomic picture, while mayonnaise adds creamy softness. Black pepper and salt subtly highlight the flavor, and herbs with a lemon slice provide a fresh accent. Perfect for festive tables and romantic dinners, this salad delights the eye and offers pleasure in every bite.
