This is an easy and light recipe that's really delicious. You can make the turnips and remoulade in advance and fold them together with the cooked shrimp the next day. Serve with greens and you have an amazing twist on a Southern meal.

1 quart | water |
4 medium | turnips (peeled and cut into large dice) |
1 | egg (whole; unpeeled) |
1 clove | garlic (minced) |
1 | rib celery (minced) |
2 tsp | Dijon mustard |
4 Tbsp | fat-free mayonnaise |
1 tsp | paprika |
1/2 tsp | salt-free Creole or Cajun seasoning blend |
1/8 tsp | salt |
1 tsp | olive oil |
1 lb | shrimp (peeled and deveined) |
Place the water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the turnips and boil them for 5 minutes. Remove the turnips and add the egg to the boiling water. Boil the egg for three minutes, then turn off the heat under the pan and allow the water and egg to stand for 12 minutes.
Remove the egg and peel it under running, cold water. Place egg in a small mixing bowl and mince using the tines of a fork. Add the garlic, celery, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, paprika and Cajun seasoning and blend well. (Best if chilled overnight - but not necessary.)
Place the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the turnips and sauté until the brown slightly.
Add the shrimp and cook for about 7 - 10 minutes until just pink.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for about 30 seconds. Add the remoulade sauce and toss to coat. Serve.
