Shrimp Salad

My Very Favorite Family Recipe... Dad's Shrimp Salad

I love seafood and this is one of my favorite family recipes
It is so much better than any Seafood Restaurant

The original recipe came from my Father-in-Law

He lovingly taught me step by step how to make his delicious Shrimp Salad
Dad would always ask my opinion when he tried something new
The original was delicious but when Dad grated it on a box grater... Wow!! Total keeper
Major F-l-a-v-o-r
Dad jokingly said the great flavor came from his fingernails and knuckles that the box grater shaved off
I bought him a mini food processor for Christmas just for making his shrimp salad LoL

As with most recipes I ended up altering it

I've been steaming shrimp for years!
I'll also be adding my recipe and instructions on how to cook the shrimp

My additions
Green Bell Pepper, Fresh Lemon Juice, Old Bay Seasoning
Substitutions
White Wine Vinegar for Distilled Vinegar

7 1/2 ounces Mayonnaise

1 1/2 Tablespoons Prepared Yellow Mustard
