Assembly Ingredients

  • 4 large croissants These flaky pastries are perfect vessels for our shrimp salad.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to get a flavor-packed sauce.
  • Gently fold in the cooked shrimp into the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated without breaking them apart.
  • Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Optionally, you can lightly toast them for added crunch.
  • On the bottom half of each croissant, place a leaf of lettuce. Then, add a generous portion of the shrimp salad on top and finish with a few slices of red onion.
  • Close up the croissant sandwich and serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh shrimp and don't skip on the fresh herbs. If you want spicy, add a dash of hot sauce to the salad. Pair with a side salad or fresh fruit salad and enjoy with iced tea or lemonade. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
