Steps:

• Shrimp -- Bring a medium pot of water and bay seasoning to a medium boil. Heat should be medium / high. Add the shrimp and bring back up to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the shrimp to continue to cook 1-2 minutes until they just turn pink and begin to curl. You don't want to overcook them. Remove from the water and set on a baking sheet or pan and spread out and let to cool. Once slightly cooled, peel and rough chop.
• Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the shrimp, and squeeze the lemon over the top. Add the onion, celery, parsley, mayo and mix well. If you are adding in the scallions, add them at this time as well. Season with a pinch of the Old Bay, start slow, you can always add more; then salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine. Continue to season with any additional salt, pepper or Old Bay until you get the taste you want.
• Sandwich -- I like to toast my sandwich rolls, but it is not necessary. I just like the added flavor. No butter, No oil, just toasted. Then top with the shrimp salad,lettuce and tomato. I also like to lightly salt and pepper the tomato slice, finish with the top sandwich roll.
• Serve -- Fries, chips, a pickle or a fresh fruit salad. Just ENJOY!

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH MELON AND FETA

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat the broiler. Make the fire as hot as it will get and, if using a broiler, put the rack close to the heat source.
• While the grill heats up, lightly crack the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. (Careful: They can roll around.) Put them in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan once or twice until fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl.
• Using a Microplane or other grater, grate zest from both limes straight into the bowl with coriander. Grate in the garlic (no need to wash the grater in between), then add the chile and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil.
• Pat shrimp dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with a pinch each salt and black pepper. Give the coriander mixture a stir, then pour half of it over the shrimp, reserving the rest for the salad. Toss shrimp to coat and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
• Cut the zested limes in half, squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice and whisk into the coriander mixture to make a dressing. Cut leftover lime into wedges.
• Arrange the shrimp in a grill basket or on skewers (or just on a sheet pan if broiling), and grill or broil shrimp until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and squeeze a wedge of lime all over.
• In a large bowl, combine melon, cucumber, onion, feta and herbs. Pour in coriander dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice to taste. Top melon salad with grilled shrimp and more herbs, if you'd like.
