How To Serve

This recipe will serve about 4 for lunch but it can easily be doubled or even tripled. It’s a great lunch to make when you’re on a summer beach trip and you have access to super fresh shrimp. It hardly takes any time to prepare. Serving it over a bed of lettuce with some Club Crackers is the most traditional way to serve it. Some fresh ripe tomato slices are a great addition. It can also be used as a filling for a sandwich or a wrap.

How To Make

To make Southern Shrimp Salad, first cook the shrimp with a little apple cider vinegar and Old Bay seasoning. The vinegar should make the shrimp easier to peel. Let them cool and then peel them.

Combine the shrimp with a mixture of mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice. Add some red onion and celery for crunch and Old Bay and chopped fresh dill for seasoning.

Make Ahead and Storage

It tastes a little better if made about an hour before serving and refrigerated. It will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days (shrimp is highly perishable), if it lasts that long. 🙂
