Shrimp Salad on Toast

"A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is all the poaching liquid needs for flavor, but drop in the rinds too so that the lemon zest can perfume the broth even further. If you'd like, add in a sprig of fresh dill, cilantro, tarragon, or parsley while you're at it. Or, if you're short on time, simply buy precooked shrimp for an easy shortcut that won't sacrifice taste."

"The real beauty of this shrimp salad recipe is how versatile it is. We've piled it atop thick-cut garlic toasts, but you have options. Tuck the cold shrimp salad into a warm buttered bun like a shrimp roll, serve in romaine lettuce cups, toss it with cooked, cooled lumache for a fun pasta salad, or serve with crackers for snacking."

Shrimp salad combines juicy shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, mayonnaise, diced celery, red onion, and lemon to create a bright, streamlined alternative to tuna or chicken salad. Fresh or frozen shrimp both work; a squeeze of lemon juice suffices for poaching, while lemon rinds can perfume the broth. Optional fresh herbs include dill, cilantro, tarragon, or parsley. Precooked shrimp offers a quick shortcut without sacrificing taste. Serving options include thick-cut garlic toast, warm buttered buns like shrimp rolls, romaine lettuce cups, tossed with cooked lumache for pasta salad, or served with crackers for snacking.
