For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you don't have sweet onion on hand, red onion can be substituted, but be sure to soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its flavor. Fresh herbs like dill or cilantro would make excellent additions to the salad. For a vegan option, omit the shrimp and use vegan mayonnaise.
