Let’s talk about our shrimp!

I’ve always been a big fan of shrimp. Growing up, it was reserved for special occasions and my mom would always make deep fried shrimp for my dad’s birthday. Shrimp is awesome simply chilled and served with keto cocktail sauce. It’s also amazing served in a variety of salads including shrimp Caesar salad! Shrimp can also be broiled, fried, grilled, roasted, or sauteed. Shrimp is an awesome keto food choice. It’s low in calories, low in carbs, and a great source of protein. For this shrimp salad, we’re boiling fresh shrimp which only takes minutes to do. You can use frozen shrimp if you’d prefer. You’ll just have to cook it a little bit longer. After cooking your shrimp, you’ll want to immediately place it in a colander and run cold water over it or place it in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.

How do I make the dressing for this keto creamy dill shrimp salad?

The dressing for this shrimp salad comes together quickly and is amazingly delicious! For the creamy base to our dressing, we combine keto mayonnaise and heavy whipping cream. When buying mayonnaise, you’ll just want to make sure there is no added sugar or oils you don’t want. We then add some lemon juice and olive oil. I used fresh lemon juice but bottled can also be used. We also add fresh parsley, chopped celery, diced red onion, and fresh chopped dill to our dressing. These add incredible flavor and wonderful texture to our salad. If you’d like to substitute with dried herbs, the basic rule is to use about one third the amount of dried in place of the fresh. For seasoning, we add some smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can give your salad a taste and add more salt and pepper if you’d like.
