- When selecting the crab meat, look for a can with a clear label that states the type of crab used.
- When selecting the shrimp, look for a variety that is fresh and not previously frozen.
- For the shrimp boil, substitute the crab boil seasoning with Old Bay seasoning. This substitution provides a more traditional flavor for a Louisiana seafood salad, as Old Bay seasoning is commonly used in seafood dishes from the region.
- For the Green Goddess dressing, substitute the jalapeño with a milder pepper, such as a poblano. This substitution allows the dressing to be enjoyed by those who may not be able to tolerate spicier peppers.
Mexican Seafood Bibb Salad Substitute the French fried onions with tortilla chips. Replace the Green Goddess dressing with a creamy avocado dressing. Add diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and cilantro to the salad for extra flavor.
