Mom's Shrimp Salad

My (83-year-old younger than I am) mother made this delicious shrimp salad today when I came over to tend to some business. She had some leftover shrimp she had bought cooked from Whole Foods for a friend's birthday. For the salad she removed the tails and chopped the shrimp into large pieces. Then added a little mayonnaise and sour cream to the bottled shrimp cocktail sauce. Next, chopped celery, chopped green pepper, chopped tomato, chopped green onion, and a dash of Old Bay Seasoning. Add the shrimp and mix well. Add chopped parsley. We served it on red leaf lettuce dressed very lightly with olive oil and lemon juice. Green olives and a good French roll on the side...yum!

  1. This sounds great!

    It reminds me of something good we had a while back. A friend took a standard potato and leek soup and, after putting in the bowls hot, added four or six raw oysters to each bowl. It was good and made a great impression.

  2. That is a great idea...much easier than the Antoine's recipe and with all the essential elements!
    Also love the idea of just adding the raw oysters to each bowl
