Can I use pre-cooked shrimp?

One million percent yes! That will make this salad come together even faster. 💨

What is Old Bay seasoning?

Old Bay is a seafood seasoning that is a mixture of celery salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika and a few others. You can find it in the spice aisle of your grocery store, and it adds a delightful flavor to your shrimpies. And if you want to try your hand at mixing up your own, here’s a recipe for the homemade version !

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

It can! We suggest waiting to drizzle on the dressing until you are ready to serve. In the meantime, keep your delectable salad cool in the fridge.

Notes

- Shrimp: We like using large shrimp for this recipe, but any size will do.

- Peaches: Fresh local peaches are the very best if you can find them. We have also made this recipe with nectarines and apricots if you like those better.

- Herbs: We sometimes use fresh mint instead of fresh basil…use your favorite!
