This tasty shrimp salad made with Old Bay seasoning is a classic recipe that is delicious served over a bed of lettuce, scooped on to a croissant, or served with crackers!
Ingredients
- 1 lb large raw shrimp (31-35 per pound) peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise like Hellman's or Duke's
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh Dill chopped finely
- 2 tbsp green onion chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with water and ice and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water and bring to a rolling boil on high heat. Add the raw shrimp and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink. Do not worry about the water returning to a boil.
- Drain the shrimp and immediately plunge into the prepared ice bath. This will stop their cooking process. Allow to chill for 10 minutes. If you want to cut your shrimp up into smaller pieces, do so at this step.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, diced celery, diced red onion, lemon juice, Dijon, chopped dill, and chopped green onion. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the shrimp and store chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve! This shrimp salad is delicious on a croissant, crackers, served on a bed of lettuce or in a wrap!
