Shrimp Salad Lettuce Wraps

Shrimp Salad

What you'll need:
  • 1 lb. shrimp tails cooked in Crab Boil or Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 6 or 7 roma tomatoes, diced and seeded (I remove the insides so it doesn't make the dressing watery)
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • black pepper
  • cayenne pepper
  • salt to taste

How its done:
Boil shrimp in the shells until pink -- about 8 minutes. Cool and remove from shells. Cut into bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Combine the vegetables in a bowl. In a measuring cup, add the mayo and the lemon juice. Add the cayenne and black pepper.

Stir together to make a dressing (use more or less lemon juice, as you prefer). Add the shrimp to the bowl of vegetables.

Pour dressing over and toss to combine. Cover and put in fridge to chill. Wait as long as you can before digging in- it's best when it's cold.
 
We like to put the shrimp salad in a butter lettuce leaf & eat it as a lettuce wrap. SO GOOD!
