Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Salad
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to an ice bath immediately.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting flavors as needed.
  3. Chop cooled shrimp into bite-sized pieces, then add diced celery and minced red onion. Pour dressing over and gently toss ingredients together.
  4. Cover the shrimp salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
