There is something so satisfying about a cool bowl of shrimp salad on a warm day. It is one of those timeless recipes that relies on fresh ingredients and just the right amount of crunch to make it a standout dish at any lunch gathering.

You will love how quickly this comes together. It is delicious stuffed into a buttery croissant, served over a bed of crisp garden greens, or scooped up with your favorite crackers. I like to keep mine simple but flavorful with plenty of fresh dill.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
If your shrimp are large, chop them into bite sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3
Add the chopped celery and fresh dill to the bowl with the shrimp.
4
Pour the creamy dressing over the shrimp mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
5
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For the best texture, add the fresh dill right before serving to keep it bright and fragrant.
