  • 1 (10-oz.) package frozen snow peas, thawed
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

  • Sauce :
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the whole shrimp, mushrooms, peppers, snow peas, and pecans. To make the sauce, use a food processor or blender, mix the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and vinegar; blend. Then, running the machine continuously, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Add salt and pepper. Pour the sauce on the shrimp mixture, and toss to mix completely. Taste and add salt, if desired.
