Creating the perfect Deli Shrimp Salad is straightforward when you follow these steps:

  3. Add shrimp: Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, ensuring they are evenly distributed among the vegetables.
  4. Make dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Combine: Pour the dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients well.
  6. Taste and adjust: Check the seasoning and add more salt, pepper, or a splash of lemon juice if needed.
  7. Chill: Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Serve: Serve on a bed of lettuce or in individual cups.
