Shrimp Salad & Dip

 
This easy-to-make Shrimp Salad can also be used as Dip. If you like "San Francisco's Seafood & Shrimp Salad" from Sam's Club, you will like this. It is very similar (my mom said she actually prefers my version over theirs - listen to your mother!). In this recipe we used 'healthy' ingredients. Many diets, including "Phase 1 and Phase 2 Antifungal" restrict starch, sugar, carbs, flours, and so on. The best part is, the measurements can be adjusted to taste and substitutions can be made as well (noted below).

Shrimp Salad / Dip

Ingredients:

  • Approximately 35 small shrimp (cleaned/cooked/shelled/deveined)
  • 1/4 cup Onion (diced)
  • 1 stalk Celery (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream*
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/8 tsp Paprika
  • 1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Onion Powder
  • 5-8 drops Stevia*
(* If you are not on a restricted diet, feel free to replace the Sour Cream with Miracle Whip and use Sugar in place of Stevia. You can also use a mixture of sour cream and plain Greek yogurt as well.)
 

Instructions:

  • Shrimp: Rinse, remove tales and veins (if any) and chop in to small pieces.
  • Celery: Wash and chop.
  • Onion: Peel and dice.
  • Lemon: Wash lemon, cut, and squeeze out juice (or use bottled lemon juice). 
  • Sour Cream: Measure into a medium bowl then add the lemon juice and stir
  • Spices: Measure into sour cream mixture and stir. Add Stevia to taste.
  • Add shrimp, celery, and onion and stir until nicely blended.
  • Chill and serve.
  • Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any). 
It's ok to sample the shrimp!
 
 

Serving suggestions:

Put a scoop in a leaf of lettuce for a grain-free salad or wrap (or your favorite bread/tortilla).
Serve with Amaranth crackers (or your favorite crackers).
 
Keeps well in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days. Stir before serving as minor separation can occur.
 
 

 
There ya have it! Simple ingredients to make a delicious Shrimp Salad / Shrimp Dip!
