- Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook about 2 minutes until the shrimp are pink and firm.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and immediately put it in the ice-water to cool. Drain and dry the shrimp.
- Chop the shrimp in coarse pieces and set aside.
- Mix the celery, shallot, pickles, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and dill in a bowl. Add the shrimp and stir. Add Tabasco, if you wish and season with salt and pepper to taste.
