Shrimp Salad
Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, cut into four pieces
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
1⁄4 cup celery, chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Fill a large bowl with ice water. Set aside. Then, fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp and the quartered lemon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp is pink. Drain the water immediately and drop the shrimp into the ice water bath. Discard the lemon quarters.
Let the shrimp cool. Then, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Combine the shrimp, mayo, celery, onions, mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly, ensuring everything is well mixed. Taste and adjust the ratio of lemon juice and mayo as needed. Add more seasonings if necessary.
Chill the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Serve as a dip or on crackers, lettuce wraps, or bread, and enjoy!
