How to Make Jazzed Up Creole Shrimp Salad

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon Creole mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Taste the remoulade and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne for extra heat, or more lemon juice for brightness.
Gently fold in 1 pound cooked shrimp.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight.
Serve the shrimp salad over a bed of mixed greens, stuffed into halved avocados, or spooned into a muffuletta or baguette.
For a pasta salad: Double the remoulade dressing and toss with 1 pound cooked pasta (rotini, penne, or your favorite shape).
Optional: For a smoother dressing, blend the remoulade sauce until creamy before adding the shrimp.
