Steps

1. 1

   Begin by finely chopping the tender sprigs from a quarter of a small bunch of dill until you have a quarter cup's worth. Place the chopped dill in a spacious bowl, ensuring to reserve some larger sprigs for garnishing later on.

2. 2

   Begin by finely chopping a quarter of a medium-sized red onion, resulting in approximately 3 tablespoons. Combine the chopped onion with the dill in a mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Begin by drying the thawed 12-oz. bag of small cooked shrimp using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Proceed to roughly chop half of the shrimp before combining all the shrimp in a bowl with onion and dill.
