Eating Raw Shrimp Salad with Fresh Crab So Yummy

TIPS FOR SEAFOOD SALAD I use imitation crab flakes because they’re already cut into bite sized pieces. You can also buy the stick-style imitation crab and slice it yourself. I highly recommend using fresh dill, the flavor is superior to dried dill. If you need to use dried dill, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried for fresh. You can use low fat mayonnaise if desired. I like to use small salad sized shrimp so that they’re bite sized, look for shrimp that are 51-60 count per pound. It’s best to use raw shrimp which are then briefly boiled and cooled in an ice bath. This will give your shrimp the best flavor and texture. You can use pre-cooked shrimp in a pinch. I recommend making sure your red onion is finely chopped so that you don’t get large pieces in each bite. You can also use sliced green onions instead of red onion for a milder flavor. This seafood salad can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can use any combination of seafood that you like in this salad, just be sure that the total weight is one pound of seafood. Other great options include bay scallops or diced lobster meat.
