BMethod
  1. Poach the shrimp. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Cook 1 to 3 minutes for fresh shrimp (up to 5 minutes for frozen), until pink and opaque.
  2. Shock them cold. Drain the shrimp and drop them straight into a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. This stops the cooking so they stay tender.
  3. Whisk the dressing. While the shrimp chill, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, dill, chives, Old Bay, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Toss it all together. Drain the shrimp and pat them dry, then combine with the celery and red onion in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss to coat. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve or rest. Eat right away, or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors develop. It keeps up to 3 days; just stir before serving.
Dial-in tip
Don't skip the ice bath; overcooked shrimp turn rubbery fast. At 380 cal and 31.5g protein per serving, this is one of the highest-protein lunches you can make in 10 minutes. Pile it into lettuce cups or over sliced avocado.
