Ingredients

For The Shrimp Salad:

  • 1 pound cooked frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off medium or large shrimp
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

For The Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard or Dijon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Place the frozen cooked shrimp in a colander and run under cold water until thawed, about 3-5 minutes. Then, pat it dry with paper towels.
  • While the shrimp is thawing, finely dice the celery, red bell pepper, and red onion. Also, chop the fresh dill and parsley. Then, zest the lemon, avoiding the pith, the white part, as it is bitter.
  • Add the cooked, thawed shrimp to a large bowl. Then, add the diced celery, red bell pepper, red onion, dill, and parsley. Gently mix these ingredients in the bowl.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, salt, and pepper to a separate bowl. Then, mix the dressing until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the dressing into the bowl with the shrimp mixture. Gently mix until everything is coated. Let the shrimp salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Shrimp Options: If you don’t have frozen cooked shrimp, you can cook peeled and deveined raw shrimp until fully cooked, or use our air fryer shrimp recipe instead. Just let the cooked shrimp cool before adding it to the salad.
  • Chop The Shrimp: As an option, cut the shrimp into smaller pieces for easier eating and distribution.
  • Dried Herbs: If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Replace the fresh herbs with one teaspoon of dried dill and one teaspoon of dried parsley.
  • Chill The Salad: Let the shrimp salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to further meld together.
  • Storage: Store leftover shrimp salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Stir it again before serving.
