Method

1. Poach shrimp in boiling salted water for 3–4 minutes until pink. Drain and cool.

2. Slice mushrooms and onion² into matchsticks. Thinly slice the apple¹ and toss with a few drops of water to prevent browning.

3. Sauté mushrooms and onion² in olive oil over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until golden and liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper, then cool.

4. Combine shrimp, cooled mushroom-onion² mix, and apple¹. Toss with mayonnaise until evenly coated.

5. Mound the salad onto a platter in a fir-tree shape. Finely chop dill⁷ and sprinkle over the top. Serve immediately.
