Recipe: https://eatsimplefood.com/shrimp-salad/ • This simple cold shrimp salad with mayo, chives, red onions, celery, and horseradish is one of my favorite light and crunchy cold salad recipes. • The addition of horseradish to cold shrimp salad gives it a gentle spiciness. Add more or less to your shrimp salad depending on your spice level preference. The lemon juice and zest give it a touch more pizazz and tang. • What Goes With Shrimp Salad • Eat cold shrimp salad as is by the spoonful or with • -some lettuce or greens • -on toast with a little more mayo and avocado • -as a sandwich • -or mixed with some cold pasta like macaroni • The LowDown On Shrimp: • Don't like peeling and deveining shrimp? Buy them already done. Most grocery stores will also sell cooked shrimp which would work for this recipe. • Whole foods will peel and devein shrimp at no additional cost most of the time if you call ahead. Shrimp can also be peeled and deveined after boiling if you don't like to peel and devein raw. • Raw frozen shrimp that have been defrosted will also work for this cold shrimp salad recipe. • Keep the raw shrimp on ice while you peel and devein it. This step is not necessary if working with a small amount of shrimp or if you're fast with your peel and devein shrimp game . • How To Make Cold Shrimp Salad • It's so easy to make cold shrimp salad, especially if the shrimp are already peeled and deveined. Watch the video in the recipe for tips on peeling and deveining shrimp. • Shrimp salad can be made whole, chopped into chunks, or diced into tiny and small pieces. It's a preference thing. Generally diced salads are easier to eat, but larger chunks are more rustic . • Dice the shrimp and set aside. I like to mix all the ingredients except the shrimp first and then fold in the shrimp. • So, in a mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, herbs, and onions. Fold in the shrimp. • Now, the hardest part - place the chopped shrimp salad in the refrigerator and wait for it to chill for a couple hours. That will give the time for all the ingredients to meld together and get cold and work together for the best tasting shrimp salad. • These are fresh local shrimp from the Geechee Dock in Charleston SC. • Shrimp season, summer, and cold salad recipes = happiness. Thank you beautiful shrimp and thank you local shrimpers. • TIP: Keep the shrimp shells and combine with water, salt, and your favorite herb or spices (YUM - Old Bay Seasoning is delicious!) to make a killer homemade seafood stock / broth. • FAQS About Cold Shrimp Salad Recipe: • What flavors go well with Cold Shrimp Salad? • Change up the herbs and spices to make a similar but different salad. Try old bay seasoning to cook the shrimp in, or lime zest and juice instead of lemon zest and juice. Any herb will really elevate and change the flavor. Try chopped fresh dill, cilantro, mint, or tarragon instead of parsley. • What do I serve Shrimp Salad with? • Serve it over greens, as a taco, on a sandwich, with crackers, in an avocado half, over vegetables, or with cold cooked macaroni pasta. • Can I freeze Shrimp Salad? • Nope. Don't do it. Just don't 🙂 • How long does Cold Shrimp Salad stay good for in the refrigerator? • 3-4 days in an airtight container. Let your nose and taste buds be your guide. • How healthy is Shrimp Salad? • Healthy is a relative term dependent on what we are trying to accomplish with our diet and lives.

But honestly, it's healthy because it's all real ingredients in my opinion. • Serves 4 • Ingredients: • -1 lb shrimp, peeled deveined • -½ cup (2 stalks) celery, finely diced • -2 Tbsp chives, finely sliced • -3 Tbsp red onions, finely diced • -½ cup mayonnaise • -zest from one lemon • -1 Tbsp lemon juice • -1 Tbsp prepared minced horseradish • -2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped • -salt • -black pepper • Instructions: • -Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add ½ teaspoon salt.
