Instructions
Gently pat the crab meat and cooked shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat and shrimp. Break the crab meat into smaller pieces if necessary.
Add the chopped celery, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the seafood and vegetable mixture. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until fully coated. Be careful not to break apart the crab meat or shrimp.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the crab meat shrimp salad chilled over a bed of mixed greens or lettuce. Alternatively, serve with crackers or toasted bread on the side for scooping. Enjoy!
