You can make this salad ahead of time—but wait until an hour before to add the lemon juice, which will prevent the shrimp from getting tough.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound rock shrimp or small shell-on shrimp
Kosher salt
¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped dill, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
Olive oil (for drizzling)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook shrimp in a medium pot of simmering salted water until they curl and are cooked through, about 45 seconds (or 3 minutes if using small shrimp). Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then drain and pat dry. If using small shrimp, peel and devein.

    Step 2

    Mix yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. dill in a large bowl. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Top with more dill and chives. Season with pepper, then drizzle with oil.
