Move over, chicken salad! This shrimp salad is here to steal the show. It’s a quick and easy recipe made with tender, juicy shrimp and just a few other ingredients. It’s creamy but light, with loads of flavor from lemon juice and zest plus fresh dill. Diced celery and onion add a contrasting crunch.

I make this shrimp salad frequently, especially during the summer, both as lunch for myself and to share with others.

My favorite way to serve this shrimp salad is on croissants as a sandwich or on butter lettuce cups for lunch. I like to cut the croissants into smaller pieces and serve them as finger food at gatherings. It can also be served in tortillas with spinach as a wrap. I’ve also enjoyed it with Ritz crackers as a snack.

Shrimp salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for about 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.
