Add 1 cup of water or broth to the Instant Pot, place the shrimp in a steamer basket, and cook on high pressure for just 1-2 minutes. A quick release of pressure will give you tender, succulent shrimp.
For an extra crispy texture, consider using the Air Fryer to cook your shrimp. Simply coat the shrimp with a little olive oil, sprinkle on your favorite seasonings, and air fry at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes.
Use this to your advantage when boiling any additional ingredients for your salad, such as corn, or to blanch any vegetables. It takes just a few minutes to bring water to a boil.
For the best texture, allow your cooked shrimp to cool down before adding them to the salad, making it extra refreshing.
Don’t forget to season your shrimp with a little salt, pepper, and garlic before cooking to enhance its natural flavors.
Incorporate a variety of fresh vegetables like cucumber, avocado, and bell peppers to add crunch and vibrancy to your salad.
Chop fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill to add a burst of flavor and freshness to your shrimp salad.
A light vinaigrette or citrus-based dressing works wonders with shrimp salad, providing a zesty flavor without overwhelming the dish.
For the best taste and texture, serve your shrimp salad chilled, especially on warm days.
