Mix well until combined.

Toss together until shrimp is well coated with salad dressing.
Scatter the remaining chopped dill on top.
Serve chilled.

Notes
You can use
smaller-sized shrimp
if serving on toast or in lettuce cups like I have, or chop up larger shrimp into
small bite sizes
.
You can use
other herbs
like chives, scallions, parsley or even a mixture of the herbs.
Spice up the dressing
with a little Tabasco hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
For
optional seasoning
, try Old Bay seasoning or sprinkle some cayenne pepper at the end for an extra oomph of spice.
Avoid excess liquid
when mixing in the salad dressing; otherwise, it will become too watery.
Put the salad in the fridge
until you are ready to serve.
