Chef Tips

Quality, quality, quality. Ask your fish monger which is the freshest available shrimp.

Preparation

Step 1 (for the dressing)

Stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, dill, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside

Step 2

Boil the shrimp. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through and pink.

Step 3

While the shrimp are cooking, prepare an ice water bath. Use a skimmer to remove the shrimp to the ice water bath. Let them cool for 3 minutes, then drain them in a colander.

Step 4

Stir it all together. In a mixing bowl, stir together the cooled shrimp, red onion, celery, and dressing, until creamy. Serve plain or with butter lettuce leaves.
