This Shrimp Salad recipe will transport your taste buds and keep the oven turned off

Did this summer seem to fly by in record speed for you? Well, it sure did for us. It’s back-to-school already, which means more structure to the days for families with kids and the age-old question, “What’s for dinner?”

It’s still hotter than you-know-what outside, so nobody really wants to have to fire up the stove top or oven for long. Even standing over a grill right now seems a bit miserable. You can make this week’s recipe by quickly steaming some shrimp, chopping a bit of celery, and mixing in the rest of the ingredients. It’s quick, light and delicious, and you can serve it a lot of ways – on a croissant, on a lightly toasted hot dog bun (think lobster roll style), in tomato cups or even lettuce-wrapped.

Maryland Shrimp Salad is creamy, flavorful and doesn’t take long to prepare. A change of pace from the old, trusty chicken salad, shrimp salad makes a perfect weeknight dinner for the family.

I’ve never been to Maryland, but I’m sure it’s quite beautiful. For now, this Shrimp Salad recipe will have to transport my taste buds.
