For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is particularly delicious. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Some prefer a creamier salad, while others prefer a lighter dressing. Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped avocado, bell peppers, or pickles. To prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery, avoid overcooking it. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking. This salad can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
