Ingredients:
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
While the shrimp cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water.
Use a large slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp directly into the ice water to stop the cooking process.
After the shrimp have cooled (about 2 to 3 minutes), drain them in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
Add the shrimp, red onions, and celery to the bowl with the prepared dressing. Stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
