Shrimp Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the shrimp have cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, 1 cup of diced celery, and 1 cup of sliced green onions. Pour the dressing over the shrimp mixture and stir until fully coated.
