  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. Add the chopped celery and red onion to the bowl.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth. This is your best seafood salad dressing.

Notes

  • For a lighter seafood meal, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • This recipe is great for make ahead seafood salad; it keeps well for up to two days.
  • If you prefer a zesty seafood salad variation, reduce the mayonnaise to 1/4 cup and add 1 tablespoon of fresh dill.
