How to Make Bayou Salad
- Cook shrimp: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 pound of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel and devein the shrimp.
- Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop 1/2 cup of celery, 1/2 cup of red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of green onions.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Creole seasoning, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: In a large bowl, gently toss together the cooked shrimp, chopped vegetables, and the prepared dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
