  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in shrimp salad, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of additives.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Shrimp salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Some popular mix-ins include celery, onion, red pepper, cucumber, and avocado.
  • Serve shrimp salad chilled. Shrimp salad is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
