Classic Shrimp Salad Recipe

0 Add 4 quarts of water to a large pot over high heat. Juice the lemon and add the juice plus the lemon wedges, peppercorns, and the bay leaf to the water and bring to a boil. Prep a large bowl with ice to cool the shrimp after cooking.
4 Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the shrimp. Simmer for 2 minutes.
3 Drain the shrimp and cool them covered with ice in a large bowl.
2 Once cooled, peel the shrimp by removing the legs, then peeling the shell off and removing the tail. Using a small paring knife, make a small cut alongside the back of the shrimp and remove the dark colored vein if needed.
1 In a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine.
5 Add the shrimp to the mayo mix and stir to coat the shrimp.
6 Serve and enjoy! Chill the shrimp salad in the fridge or serve immediately and enjoy.
