SHRIMP SALAD FROM INA GARTEN

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts water, 3 tablespoons salt, and the lemon to a boil in a large saucepan. Add half the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, for only 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are barely cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to move the shrimp into a bowl of cool water.
• Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the remaining shrimp. When cool enough to handle, peel and devein the shrimp and place in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, wine, 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and dill. Add as much of the dressing as you like to the peeled shrimp along with the red onion, celery, and lemon zest, if using, and gently toss. Taste and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for a few hours.
