Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used 0%, but 2% or whole would yield a creamier result)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • juice of ½ a lemon
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 2/3 cup diced celery

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt the water (about a teaspoon). Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Mine were frozen, so they took a few minutes longer.

  2. Once shrimp are cooked, drain them and run under cold water to help them cool.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, and Old Bay until combined. Add the shrimp, red onion, and celery and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. Serve in lettuce cups, on a sandwich, on crackers, or just by itself!
