Ingredients
Seafood
- 8 ounces cooked medium shrimp, peeled and chilled
- 8 ounces imitation crab meat
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 ribs celery, finely diced
- 1 green onion, finely diced
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 4 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare seafood: Roughly chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and tear the imitation crab meat into similarly sized chunks to make them easier to eat in the salad.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, Old Bay seasoning, and hot sauce until smooth and well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Add the chopped shrimp, crab meat, finely diced celery, and green onion to the dressing. Toss everything together gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Season and garnish: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked and chilled shrimp to save time.
- Fresh dill is preferred for the best flavor but dried dill works as a substitute.
- Adjust hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Serve chilled for optimal taste and texture.
- Can be served on a bed of greens, in sandwiches, or with crackers.
