Shrimp Salad
Shrimp Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. freshly chopped dill
- Toasted bread or butterhead or romaine lettuce, for serving
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil. Season the shrimp with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and let them cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
- Once the shrimp have cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces if desired or leave them whole for a more dramatic presentation. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, red onion, celery, and dill. Pour the lemon-dill dressing over the shrimp mixture and gently toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the shrimp salad on toasted bread for a delicious open-faced sandwich or in butterhead or romaine lettuce cups for a lighter option. Garnish with extra dill or lemon zest for a bright and fresh touch.
