To create the perfect Shrimp Egg Salad, follow these simple steps:

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes.

2. Cook the Shrimp: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes. Drain and cool.

3. Peel the Eggs: After the eggs have cooled, peel them under cold running water, making it easier to remove the shells.

4. Chop the Ingredients: Dice the cooled shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Chop the peeled eggs, celery, and red onion.

5. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

6. Combine the Ingredients: Add the chopped shrimp, eggs, celery, red onion, and dill or parsley to the dressing. Stir gently to combine, ensuring ingredients are coated without smashing the eggs.

7. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

8. Serve: When ready, serve the salad on a bed of lettuce leaves or in a sandwich. You can garnish with additional herbs for a pop of color.

By closely following these steps, you can achieve a delicious Shrimp Egg Salad effortlessly.
