Start by patting the cooked shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. If the shrimp is large, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, celery, red onion, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy dressing.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and gently fold it into the dressing until the shrimp is fully coated.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the shrimp salad as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or use it to top crackers or a bed of mixed greens.
