Ingredients

• 250 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 large Eggs
• 75 grams Mayonnaise
• 15 grams Dijon mustard
• 15 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
• 50 grams Celery (finely diced)
• 25 grams Red onion (finely diced)
• 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 grams Salt
• 1 gram Black pepper
• 15 milliliters Olive oil
• 1 liter Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a pinch of salt and the shrimp.

Step 2

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the eggs and boil them for 9-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs and dice them into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Add the diced celery, red onion, parsley, cooked shrimp, and diced eggs to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold everything together until well combined.

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled, either as a filling for sandwiches, an accompaniment to crackers, or as a standalone dish.
