Ingredients
Scale
12 oz imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded
8 oz cooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Place the shredded imitation crab and the cooked shrimp in a medium bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, celery, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth.
Pour the dressing mixture over the seafood.
Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
Stir in the fresh dill.
Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
If you prefer a bit of crunch, add 1 tablespoon of finely minced red onion.
This salad tastes best when made ahead of time, allowing the dill flavor to develop.
