Step 1:
How to make a royal salad with shrimp and red caviar? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any shrimp. I used medium shrimp. In my opinion, they are well suited in size for this salad. Pre-drain the liquid from the canned corn.
Step 2:
Wash the egg, pour water, bring to a boil. Boil the egg over medium heat hard-boiled for 7-8 minutes. Cool the boiled egg in cold water so that it is better cleaned from the shell.
Step 3:
Shrimps need to be cooked properly so that they turn out tender. In a saucepan of suitable size, bring the water to a boil. Add salt to the water, add bay leaf and pepper. This will improve the taste of the finished shrimp.
Step 4:
Dip the shrimp in boiling water. If the shrimps are frozen, they can not be thawed beforehand. Cook medium shrimp after boiling for no more than 2 minutes. It is very important not to overcook the shrimp, otherwise their tender meat will become rough and tough. This will worsen the taste of the salad. As soon as the shrimp began to float and the shell became transparent, turn off the fire. Put the finished shrimp in a colander to drain the water. Let the shrimp cool down.
Step 5:
Peel the cooled shrimp from the head, tail and shell.
Step 6:
Peel the boiled egg from the shell, cut into small cubes.
Step 7:
In a salad bowl, combine corn, shrimp, egg and red caviar. Season the salad with mayonnaise, mix gently.
Step 8:
If desired, the salad can be decorated with shrimp and red caviar before serving. Bon appetit!

When buying shrimp, pay attention to their appearance. Shrimps should have a uniform color and a curved tail. If the tail is straightened, it means that the shrimp was already inanimate before freezing.

If large shrimps are used, for example, royal ones, they need to be cut into smaller pieces after cooking.

Frozen and unpeeled king prawns should be cooked for 7-9 minutes, peeled - 5 minutes. The smaller the shrimp, the less time it takes to cook them.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

How to buy canned corn correctly? Be sure to check the expiration date on the jar. If the container is glass, carefully consider the grains. They should be the same size and color, solid and spotless. The composition should not contain dyes, preservatives and flavor enhancers.
