When you’re looking for a light, fresh dip or side dish during a warm summer picnic, the Tarragon Shrimp Salad is your best bet. This shrimp salad uses a light base of mayonnaise and sour cream with delicious shrimp making up the base of the dish. Old Bay and Cajun seasonings bring a little bit of down-home Cajun flavor to the dish, adding plenty of savory flavor without making it feel too heavy. Add a little celery for crunch and serve it on your favorite brand of club crackers for the best taste.
