Add the lemon juice to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until smooth.
Fold in the chopped dill, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Gently add the shrimp to the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring the shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste the mixture and adjust salt and pepper if necessary according to your preference.
To serve, place a romaine lettuce leaf on each serving plate. Spoon the shrimp mixture generously onto each lettuce leaf.
