Paula Deen's Shrimp Salad Sandwiches

Ok so this recipe TOTALLY makes up for the previous one. I may not have been crazy about the Mexican Chicken Casserole, but I absolutely loved this shrimp salad. Aside from some shrimp salad I had at the 'Shrimp n' Grits Festival' when we lived in Georgia, this is the best shrimp salad I've ever had. Miss Paula Deen...I love you again :)

Publix usually has the 1 pound bags of frozen cooked shrimp on sale ALL the time, so I had some in my freezer when I decided to make this...perfect use for it. I (of course) added a bit more mayonnaise than the recipe calls for, but other than that, I made no changes. I just loved this so much. In fact, as soon as I'm done posting this I'm heading in straight into the kitchen to make another sandwich using the leftovers (sure it'll ruin my dinner appetite, but I really don't care).

If you love shrimp or have been looking for a decent shrimp salad recipe, than I absolutely recommend this one. Can't wait to make it in the summer for some friends or for a get-together so I can share it. I was SO good :)

Ingredients

1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and de-veined
3 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
3 celery stalks, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Dash onion salt
Salt and pepper
Seasoning salt
Celery salt
8 slices your choice bread, toasted
Lettuce and tomato slices, optional

Directions

1. Place shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely minced (I just chopped mine with a knife. I wanted bigger chunks of shrimp).

2. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and add eggs, celery, and mayonnaise; mix well. Add seasonings, to taste, and stir to combine.

3. Spread additional mayonnaise on both sides of bread. Heap shrimp salad onto bread and then cut sandwiches in half. Serve with lettuce and tomato, if desired.
