If you are looking for a quick and easy meal to serve to your family or guests for Easter or any Sunday Brunch, then this easy, breezy simple Shrimp Salad should fit the bill.

I purchased a 2 lb package of frozen shrimp which was thawed in the refrigerator overnight. You can either steam the shrimp in a Double Boiler or place them in a pan with 1/4 cup of water to cook until they are pink in color. Allow the shrimp to cool then remove the shells, and veins and cut into thirds.
.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs of fresh or frozen shrimp – deveined and tails off
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayo
- 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp of fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red onion – diced
- springs of fresh dill (optional)
- Lettuce leaves
.
.
Instructions:
.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl
- add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise or more if you like a creamier salad,
- add a teaspoon of Dijon Mustard
- mix in the 1/4 cup diced red onion and the juice of the lemon and lime.
- Lightly stir to mix all the ingredients together then cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour to chill.
.
To serve you can either scoop some of the Shrimp Salad onto individual lettuce leaves or onto toasted Italian bread slices garnished with Dill.
.
This simple Shrimp Salad is also perfect for a light lunch or as a quick and easy mid-week meal.
