Shrimp Salad
Shrimp Salad is a summertime classic! Serve it on a toasted bun or simply spooned over lettuce and tomatoes.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
1 1/2 pounds shell on large shrimp (16-20 per pound)
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dressing
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar*
2 tablespoons sweet onion, diced fine
2 tablespoons celery, diced fine
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Other ingredients (for serving)
4 brioche buns
Butter, to toast the buns
Red leaf lettuce, or other salad greens
Sliced garden tomatoes
Instructions
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add garlic and cook for one minute then add all of the shell-on shrimp.
- Saute for approximately 3 minutes, turning as you go, until they just start to turn pink.
- Add lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook just until cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more. Break one open if not sure. Do not overcook.
- Move the shrimp to a plate or your cutting board, leaving the pan contents behind. They did their job and will no longer be needed.
- Peel off all shells including the tail shell and cut each piece into four pieces then place the cut up warm shrimp into a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise with the vinegar until smooth then stir in the remaining dressing ingredients.
- Pour the dressing over the shrimp and toss to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate for about two hours to chill and meld flavors.
- When ready to serve, slice buns and toast in melted butter on a grill pan and serve with red leaf lettuce and sliced garden tomatoes with chips on the side.

Notes
*If you don’t have champagne vinegar, use white wine vinegar or white vinegar but add a pinch of sugar since the champagne vinegar is a little sweet.
