Preparation Steps
- Gather all the tools and ingredients for this recipe.
- Seed and dice the cucumber. Dice the celery and finely chop the chives and cilantro. Add all to a large bowl.
- Dice the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl. If opting for smaller shrimp and skipping the dicing, consider reducing the mayonnaise quantity due to the lesser surface area to coat.
- Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, and celery seed to the bowl. Gently mix until all ingredients are well-coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chili flakes or a couple of dashes of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Keto shrimp salad with mayo is ready. Serve chilled, in lettuce cups or directly from the bowl.
