We love how easy this appetizer or side dish comes together, and in just about 10 minutes, yet is impressive looking and fun to serve. After toasting some almonds in a skillet, combine those with the chopped cooked shrimp, celery, scallions, basil, white wine vinegar, and olive oil in a bowl. Spread the endive leaves out on a platter, spoon some shrimp into each, and your dish is ready to go—it's that simple! You can also use iceberg, romaine, or radicchio lettuce if you prefer. Also try with pieces of cooked chicken or steak if you want to mix things up a bit.
