Cook the shrimp and crab properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Cook the shrimp and crab just until they are opaque and cooked through.
Use a good quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
Add some crunchy vegetables. Crunchy vegetables, such as celery and carrots, will add texture and flavor to your salad.
Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
