Shrimp Salad Preparation
- Begin by filling a medium saucepan with water and adding a generous amount of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and add the shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to an ice bath to halt cooking, ensuring they remain tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning.
- In a large bowl, add the poached shrimp, diced celery, and minced red onion. Toss gently and gradually add the dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve the shrimp salad over mixed greens, in croissants, or in lettuce cups.

Notes
To avoid a watery salad, pat shrimp dry after poaching. Customize dressing with different bases for a lighter option. Refrigerate to enhance flavors before serving.
