Cold Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a large bowl, combine the Blue Plate mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, and house spice blend. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Shrimp and Dressing

    Add the cooled shrimp to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold to coat the shrimp evenly with the dressing.

  4. 4

    Add Green Onions

    Fold in the sliced green onions, mixing gently to distribute them throughout the shrimp mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with Saltines.
