I used to travel to New York City a lot and I always loved being there on Wednesdays. Wednesdays in New York means shrimp salad sandwiches. After years of almost constant traveling, I travel as little as possible now. So, when I get a craving for a shrimp salad sandwich, I make my own.
This is a very simple recipe that gives great results. You need about a pound of shrimp, some green onions, celery, dill and some
vidalia onion.
Dice everything small and add to the shrimp in a bowl. I boiled the shrimp
ahead of time in salted water just until they became
opaque.
Add some lemon and lime zest to taste. Squeeze in a bit of the juice too.
Add some sour cream and some mayo. I used about 1/4 cup each. It all depends on how many shrimp you are using. Add cracked black pepper and salt to taste.
Mix it all together and chill until ready to use.
I served it on my sourdough buns but it can be served with any kind of bread. It is good eaten plain as a salad too. If you chop the shrimp into small pieces this recipe makes a great shrimp dip served with toasted pita chips.

john just saw it over my shoulder and said..."Can we have that!!!"
I´ve done this once and if I remember right the recipe said that I should use some mustard too. I thought it sounded strange but it did work. I think I´ll look for that recipe again.
Have a great day now!
