Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and cooked)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Celery (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Mixed greens or lettuce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by making sure the shrimp is cooked, peeled, and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked shrimp, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped dill, and chopped parsley to the bowl.
Use a spoon or spatula to gently fold all the ingredients together, ensuring the shrimp is evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Refrigerate the shrimp salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over a bed of mixed greens or lettuce, or enjoy it as a filling for wraps or sandwiches.
