I fell in love with shrimp around the time that I fell in love with my husband, more than two decades ago. My mom had and still has an aversion to seafood of all sorts, so it wasn’t something that we ate. Keith’s family was a different story. Both of his parents grew up in the American south where seafood, shrimp especially, is a staple. Once I had my first taste of the buttery, salty deliciousness, I was hooked. I’ve been making up for lost time ever since: Shrimp Piccata, Shrimp Creole, Cajun Shrimp, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Shrimp Tacos and Grilled Shrimp Tacos, Coconut Shrimp, Shrimp Salad, Seafood Pasta Salad, Shrimp Ceviche and, of course, Shrimp Remoulade.

I love this Shrimp Remoulade salad all year long (when I’m not making Crab Salad), as lunch or a light dinner. But it also makes an excellent appetizer for a holiday meal (or any meal!).

You can poach raw shrimp that you’ve peeled and deveined in water seasoned with salt, a bay leaf and some peppercorns. Let them cool before assembling the salad. Or, to make it even easier, begin with already cooked shrimp that you’ve purchased from your grocery store or fish monger.
