Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Salad

  • 1 pound poached shrimp, recipe below
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper (Half of a large pepper)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery (1 large stalk)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (3 to 4)
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) mayonnaise, try homemade mayo
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 twists of pepper grinder

Poached Shrimp

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp (3140 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 lemon, cut in half
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 twists pepper grinder
  • 1 ½ tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning , optional

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add 2 quarts of water to a large pot and place it on the stove over high heat. Squeeze a little lemon juice into the water and drop the lemon halves into the pot. Add the garlic, bay leaf, pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil.
  2. Step 2: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from the heat and immediately submerge the shrimp into the hot water. Poach them for three minutes.
  3. Step 3: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate. Allow them to cool by placing them in the refrigerator.
  4. Step 4: Once the shrimp have cooled, place them in a large bowl with the bell pepper, celery, green onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper.
  5. Step 5: Gently mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  6. Step 6: Allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving, which allows the flavors to marinate and develop.
