How to make a crab salad with shrimp? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Wash the Beijing cabbage, dry and tear it into small pieces with your hands, using only a soft green part of the leaves. Shrimp can be used fresh or frozen. How to defrost shrimp? Do it on the bottom shelf of the fridge.

How to cook shrimp? Pour water into a large saucepan. The volume of liquid should be twice the volume of seafood. Salt with ordinary, or rather sea salt (1 tbsp per 1 liter of water). When boiling, send the uncleaned prawns to the pan. Bring them to re-boil and turn off the heat immediately. Small shrimp are boiled for no more than 2 minutes. Royal or tiger - 3-7 minutes.

Make sure you don't digest the prawns or overextend them in hot water, or they won't be as soft as you'd like. Tip into a colander, rinse with cold water or send to a bowl of ice. Peel the chilled shrimp.

Disassemble the ripe pomegranate into individual grains.

If the crab sticks you use are frozen, defrost them. Without removing the packaging, put them on the cutting board, let them thaw. Now remove the cellophane wrapper. If it does not spin well, hold the sticks over the steam for 1-3 seconds. Cut crab sticks into semicircles.

Tip the canned pineapples from the jar into a colander, let the syrup drain. Cut the fruit into small pieces.

Cut the hard cheese into medium cubes. Try to cut crab sticks and cheese of the same size into cubes - this will make the salad look prettier. Cheese can take any, semi-hard, soft, to your taste.

In a suitably sized salad bowl, combine shrimp, crab sticks, Beijing cabbage, pineapples and pomegranate grains.

Season the salad with mayonnaise and stir. You can make the dressing by mixing sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions or using one sour cream, natural yogurt without additives.
