Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 large Eggs
- 75 grams Mayonnaise
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 15 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 50 grams Celery (finely diced)
- 25 grams Red onion (finely diced)
- 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 grams Salt
- 1 gram Black pepper
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a pinch of salt and the shrimp.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In the same pot, add the eggs and boil them for 9-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs and dice them into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
Add the diced celery, red onion, parsley, cooked shrimp, and diced eggs to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold everything together until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled, either as a filling for sandwiches, an accompaniment to crackers, or as a standalone dish.
