HOW TO MAKE THE BEST & EASIEST SHRIMP SALAD MY Mama’s Southern Shrimp Salad

FOLLOW ME ON IG: /SouthernWomanLifestyle
Today I am showing you how to make my Mama’s Southern Shrimp Salad. Here in the south, we love our seafood. It’s a very simple salad, the heavy lifting, of course is done by the shrimp and old bay seasoning. It has very few ingredients lemon zest, mayonnaise, celery, old bay and shrimp. I normally do add dill but for some reason I couldn’t get any at the store, so if you want, you can add a couple tablespoons of dill if you like.

My father was from.the Netherlands. My mother's family was in America since the 1700's. What a great amalgam for food and tradition. My mom cooked all those classic, what I have since discovered are "southern" dishes. Love your channel and your recipes. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, cousin, for the compliment. If I liked shrimp, I would love to eat this beautiful salad. I could add chopped chicken instead of the shrimp.

[@johnzitzmann6269]

Hi, do you add the shrimp frozen to the simmering water? Thanks for a lovely recipe!

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

Yes or you can wait until they are thawed. Though I just put them into the simmering water frozen. When they start to turn pink, take them immediately out of the simmering old bay water. There will be a little carryover cooking. That’s why I take them out just as they are turning pink. I don’t rinse them off. I just put them to the side in the bowl as you saw in the video until I was ready to work with them. You could if you wanted, put them in a bowl in the freezer to immediately stop the cooking. I hope that helps, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for watching and commenting. We’re very grateful. Be blessed.

[@ericfile]

I feel bad for people who have to depend on buying imported frozen shrimp because they don’t have access to fresh American shrimp--especially fresh Gulf shrimp--the difference in taste is amazing, plus the shells and heads make fantastic stock for gumbo, étouffée, etc. On the Gulf Coast we are fortunate to have access to fresh seafood--including shrimp--year round, so we’re spoiled. (I can’t wait to try your pineapple curd and your coffee cake. Growing up we always had coffee cake, and your recipe sounds really good!!!)

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

A lot people just can’t afford fresh shrimp these days even if they live close to the ocean. I would love if we could afford fresh shrimp but these frozen shrimp are very delicious non the less. Thank y’all for watching and for commenting we are so very grateful. Please be blessed.

[@JelZelle]

@@SouthernWomanLifestyle yes a lot of people these days can’t afford fresh shrimp. Grocery prices seem to be coming down now so hopefully we can make this dish soon. ❤

[@julieproctor6039]

No lemon juice? I guess the Old Bay has all the flavors needed.

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

No it has the zest of one lemon, so it has lots of lemon flavor. Thank y’all for watching and commenting. We’re very grateful. Be blessed. 💯

[@Donna-hz3vi]

Lemon zest....

Y U M

[@MichaelOrtello-ek7wi]

Look a little too dry but that’s o.k. Just add more mayonnaise.😊

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

I always say customize any of our recipes for your taste. This is how we like it but if you want more mayonnaise, please put more mayonnaise in. Thank you so much for stopping by and watching our video and commenting. Be blessed.

[@starfishjennie]

DUKES mayo

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

It’s a good mayonnaise, my cousin @helencantimagine uses Dukes.🙂 Thank y’all for watching and commenting. We are so very grateful. Be blessed

[@fredallen-k3u]

I liked your content except for the old bay ...MSG !!!!!

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

Hi Fred, Old Bay does not have monosodium glutamate MSG in it. So you’re safe. Thank y’all for watching and commenting. We are very grateful. Be blessed.

[@marilynsnider8183]

I'm with you.

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

Yes some people think Old Bay seasoning has msg but it doesn’t. Thank you for watching and commenting. We’re very grateful. Be blessed.

[@bugdog9]

No onions.??

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

No, my mama felt the shrimp, celery and Old Bay Seasoning worked harmoniously together. My mama would normally add 2 tablespoons of chopped dill, but the store was out, so that was the only other thing I would’ve added . I hope y’all enjoy. Thank y’all for watching, liking and commenting. We’re very grateful for your support. Be blessed..

[@Ozarka636]

😏devein not divine Sorry Deveining shrimp refers to removing the dark-colored membrane you see along the outermost curvature of the shrimp. That said, you're not actually removing a vein at all, rather the intestinal tract of the shrimp

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

@@Ozarka636 Oh gosh Ozarka636, no the shrimp was Great Value EZ Peel Deveined 13-15 Frozen Shrimp. Thank y’all for watching and commenting. We’re very grateful. Be blessed.

[@Ozarka636]

@@SouthernWomanLifestyle loved the recipe 🌹

[@RichSleeping]

New cook here, does it matter what size shrimp I use? Thanks

[@SouthernWomanLifestyle]

Well I wouldn’t go smaller than 25- 30 and what that means is it’s 25 to 30 shrimp per pound. But in saying that, if all you have are a smaller shrimp, then go for it, it should be fine, but I do think the bigger shrimp have better flavor. If you have any cooking questions, Rich, please just ask in the comments below, and I will always try to help you.
