The easy way to Make Shrimp Salad

Start by peeling the shrimp and devein them then toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Next, place the shrimp on a lined baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F and cook until they turn pink and opaque which should take about 5-6 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.

While the shrimp are cooking you can mix up the mayo dressing. Add the mayonnaise to a bowl along with the dill, lemon juice, and dijon mustard and stir to combine.

When the shrimp are fully cooled carefully stir them into the dressing with the cucumber, celery, red onion, and optional avocado and mix it all together until the shrimp is evenly coated in the dressing.

You can use this as a sandwich filling, in pita bread, or simply serve it over butter lettuce for a light lunch. It will keep covered in the fridge for a couple of days (as long as it doesn’t have avocado in it.)
