Ingredients

– 8 ounces imitation crab meat (flaked style or sticks cut into slices)
– 8 ounces raw shrimp (I use 51-60 count for this recipe)
– 1 lemon, quartered
– 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
– 3 tablespoons red onion, minced
– 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
– 2 teaspoons lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quartered lemon.
  • Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes or until pink and opaque. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Drain the shrimp then pat dry.
  • Place the shrimp, imitation crab, celery, red onion, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and dill in a bowl. Toss gently to coat.
  • Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like diced bell peppers or cucumbers for extra crunch and flavor.
