Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, cooked shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but thaw them completely before adding them to the salad.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp. Just be sure to check the label to make sure they are cooked properly.
If you don't have celery, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as carrots or radishes.
For a creamier salad, add a dollop of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
If you want a more flavorful salad, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Shrimp salad is a light, refreshing, and delicious dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
