- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with baking soda, kosher salt, and Old Bay seasoning. Allow them to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the shrimp brine, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside for later.
- Bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add the brined shrimp and cook for 90 seconds.
- Immediately transfer the poached shrimp to the ice water bath using a slotted spoon. Let them sit for about 2-3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix diced celery, finely chopped red onion, dill, mayonnaise, additional Old Bay seasoning, celery seed, and lemon juice. Add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Gently fold the cooled shrimp into the prepared dressing, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated.
- Cover the salad tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, drain any excess liquid before serving.
