Notes
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- When thawing the shrimp, always follow the package directions. Make certain to wash your hands before and after handling seafood.
- Before adding the shrimp to the dressing, pat dry with a paper towel. Adding damp or even wet shrimp to the dressing may cause the shrimp salad to become drippy instead of creamy.
- You can substitute dried dill for the fresh chopped.
