Old Bay Shrimp Salad

Nif's Note:

A recipe from Old Bay - This salad - creamy in texture with crunchy bits of celery and plump shrimp - is very tasty! It can be served up on crackers, in a croissant or rolled in lettuce bowls. Tomato-lovers, try it stuffed in a fresh tomato. Think quick lunch or light supper. Enjoy!

Thanks! I was looking for a Shrimp Salad my mom use to make with
Old Bay and celery and this is it. Great on bread also!

Thank you Nif for wonderfully tasty light lunch, I scaled this back to 1 serve but was wishing I had doubled it but I practised portion control and only had one. I think this could be a really good entree for a dinner party, the prawns look so good nestled in the lettuce leaf (I used iceberg). Thanks once again Nif, made for 123 Hit Wonders.
