If you love shrimp cocktail, you’ll love this take on shrimp salad. It takes all the flavors of shrimp cocktail and mixes it with a little mayo for an easy, refreshing meal prepped lunch or appetizer.
I was waiting all summer to make this on the beach with shrimp I bought fresh at the market, but you can just use frozen shrimp. It’s honestly just as fresh, but I had a vision and needed to experience it on a beach because I am extra!
It was just perfect!

Notes
If you don’t like strong spice, you can start with less horseradish and tabasco and add it in – but the ketchup and shrimp are both very sweet, so it really isn’t that spicy as written.
If you like celery, this would pair great with celery! But I don’t, so I didn’t add any!
