- To make the shrimp: Combine the wine, mustard seeds, pepper flakes, bay leaf, and lemon in a large saucepan. Add water to fill the pan two-thirds full. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp have turned pink and are no longer translucent in the center. Drain and cool. Discard the bay leaf. To make the herb-dill dressing: In a screw-top jar, mix the olive oil, red-wine vinegar, water, basil, dill, garlic, mustard, and onion. Shake well.

SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- Bring 5 quarts of water, 3 tablespoons salt, and the lemon to a boil in a large saucepan. Add half the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Cook uncovered for only 3 minutes or until the shrimp are barely cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Let cool; then peel, and devein the shrimp.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, wine or vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and dill. Combine with the peeled shrimp. Add the red onion and celery and check the seasonings. Serve or cover and refrigerate for a few hours.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or prawns. - For a more intense flavor, grill or broil the shrimp before adding them to the salad. - Be sure to chop the celery and onion finely so that they don't overpower the other ingredients. - For a creamy dressing, use mayonnaise or sour cream as the base. - If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill weed. However, fresh dill will give the dressing a much more flavorful taste. - Serve the shrimp salad immediately, or chill it for later.Conclusion:
