Tips
- Prep your shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a more elegant presentation.
- Cook the shrimp perfectly: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp, or they will steam instead of sear. Cook them in a single layer over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the creamy poppy seed dressing: Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, poppy seeds, lemon juice, sugar, celery, and onion in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange the cooked shrimp on a bed of lettuce or watercress. Drizzle with the creamy poppy seed dressing and sprinkle with additional poppy seeds, if desired.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh, so enjoy it right away.
