Shrimp Salad

You can prepare this appetizer the night before and store it in the refrigerator. I personally always make this the night before because the flavors get to sit and blend with each other. Store in the fridge for at least 2 hours. I like to take it out the next day and give it one final stir (or 2) before placing it in the serving dish. Garnish with sprigs of fresh dill or a few pieces of sliced red peppers to add color and depth.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, cooked

  • 2 medium scallions

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill - chopped

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1
If you are feeling up to it, take the shrimps (prawns) and boil them in water with 1 bay leaf, three peppercorns, and five mustard seeds. You can also use Old Bay Seasoning. Bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and boil for 3 minutes if they are medium-sized and 4-5 minutes if they are large shrimp. Please turn off the heat and let them sit for another 5 minutes. Then, take them out and submerge them in ice water. Once they are cold, drain and pat dry.

If you are not feeling this courageous and are in a hurry, buy the pre-cooked shrimp from your freezer section of the Supermarket and defrost them according to the package directions.
3
Chop each shrimp into tiny pieces.

Then, combine the remaining ingredients with the prawns and chill for 2 hours.
