Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized potatoes
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the shrimp. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooled potatoes, cooked shrimp, celery, red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
