For the best flavor and texture, use freshly cooked shrimp. If using pre-cooked shrimp, ensure it is of high quality and has not been previously frozen. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. For a lighter salad, substitute some of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. A pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce can add a delightful kick to this salad. Serve chilled on croissants, toasted bread, lettuce wraps, or with your favorite crackers.
