Step-by-Step Instructions for The Best Shrimp Salad
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Transfer the shrimp immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- While the shrimp is cooling, finely chop the celery, red onion, and your chosen fresh herbs—parsley or dill.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled shrimp to the dressing, followed by the chopped vegetables and herbs. Gently toss everything together until well-coated.
- Cover the salad tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
