Ingredients

• 4 pieces medium-sized potatoes
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the shrimp. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Add the cooled potatoes, cooked shrimp, celery, red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
