Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 1.5 pounds cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 0.5 to 1 cup dill ranch dressing (see note)

Garnish

  • Fresh dill, chopped for garnish

Serving Options

  • Brioche buns for serving
  • Lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure your shrimp is thoroughly cooked, peeled, and deveined. Chop the celery into small pieces and slice the green onions thinly. The freshness of these vegetables is key for a crunchy texture in every bite.
  • Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, chopped celery, and sliced green onions. Gently fold them together to distribute the ingredients evenly without breaking the shrimp.
  • Step 3: Add the Dressing. Pour ½ cup of the dill ranch dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated. You can add more dressing based on your preference for creaminess.
  • Step 4: Garnish and Serve. Chop some fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad for an aromatic touch. For serving, you can either spoon the shrimp salad into brioche buns for a tasty sandwich or serve it nestled in crisp lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Notes

Allow your salad to chill for about 30 minutes in the fridge before serving. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully.
