📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.
2
Once water is boiling add shrimp and let cook until pink and opaque throughout, about ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes (I like to test temp of inside of one to 145 degrees on an instant read food thermometer to not overcook it).
3
Drain shrimp then transfer to bowl of ice water and submerge. Let cool about ⏱️ 10 minutes.
4
Meanwhile in a medium mixing bowl stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, celery, red onion, parsley, and dill.
fresh lemon juice (+ 1 tsp lemon zest)1 Tbsp
5
Drain shrimp, remove peels and tails, then dab dry.
6
Transfer shrimp to mayo mixture, toss to evenly coat while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in buns with lettuce if desired and finish with paprika/cayenne pepper to taste.
Salt (and freshly ground black pepper)Cayenne pepper (or paprika for a mild option)
7
Or alternately you can just serve in lettuce leaves and double them up if desired (note that omitting buns this will reduce the calorie estimate by 130 calories per serving).
Lettuce leaves (romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg)6
