How to Make Shrimp Salad
- Poach the Shrimp: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Prep the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the poached shrimp, diced celery, and minced red onion into the dressing. Be careful not to break the shrimp while mixing, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully together.
