Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • ½ cup of mayonnaise
  • 2 ribs of celery (finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons of red onion (finely minced)

  1. Cook the shrimp by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil, adding the shrimp, and boiling for about 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and place in an ice bath.

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  6. Chill the salad in the fridge for about 30 minutes for flavors to mingle, if desired.
