Notes
- When thawing the shrimp, always follow the package directions. Make sure to wash your hands before and after handling seafood.
- Before adding the jumbo shrimp to the dressing, pat dry with a paper towel. Adding damp or even wet shrimp to the dressing may cause the shrimp salad to become drippy instead of creamy.
- Make sure your red onion is diced nice and fine if you don’t like large chunks of onion in your dish.
