Shrimp Salad Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp (cooked, rinsed, and tails removed)
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise (or use Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 1 stalk celery (finely diced)
  • 2 tbsp chives (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Shrimp: Place the cooked shrimp in a colander under cold water to rinse off any excess. Pat them dry with paper towels, ensuring each shrimp is clean and ready for mixing.
  2. Mix Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and creamy to create the base for your shrimp salad.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper gently to blend aromatic flavors into the dressing.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables: Toss in the finely diced celery and chopped chives. Mix lightly until they are evenly distributed, adding a fresh crunch to the salad.
  5. Combine Shrimp: Gently fold the cleaned shrimp into the mixture using a spatula, being careful not to break apart the shrimp. Aim for an even distribution of shrimp throughout the creamy dressing.
  6. Chill and Serve: Taste the salad and adjust seasonings if needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier, lighter option.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice for more tartness according to taste.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully with fresh bread, crackers, or atop a bed of greens.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
