Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp
1 cup of diced celery
1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill or parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Lettuce, bread, or crackers for serving
Instructions
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the shrimp. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
While your shrimp are cooling, grab a cutting board and chop your celery and onion.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Stir well until it’s smooth and creamy.
Once the shrimp are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-sized pieces. Toss the shrimp, diced celery, and red onion into the bowl with the dressing. Mix until everything is nicely coated.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and fold in the fresh herbs if you’re using them.
Cover the salad and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
