Follow The Directions

01

Step

Infuse the oil with turmeric: Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add turmeric and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the turmeric. (Time: 1 minute)

02

Step

Create the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the turmeric-infused oil with the mayonnaise, liquid aminos, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined. (Time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Incorporate the vegetables: Add the diced cucumber, tomato, chopped leek, and spinach to the mayonnaise mixture. Gently mix until evenly distributed. (Time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Fold in the shrimp: Add the drained shrimp to the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the shrimp tough. (Time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Chill and serve: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crackers, crudités, or in a wrap. (Time: 30 minutes chilling)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the turmeric oil.
If you prefer a creamier dip, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Fresh dill or chives would also be delicious additions to this dip.
Ensure the leeks are washed very well to remove any grit.
