Nothing classic about fake crab in shrimp salad. Frozen shrimp nowadays are frozen in salt water to make them plump which makes the shrimp extremely salty--don't add salt unless you want to taste nothing but salt. I like to soak shrimp in plain water for fifteen minutes or so after they are clean to help get rid of the salt. Also the salt freezing method causes the shrimp to retain fluid which makes them appear gelatinous unless you cook them well done. In other words, don't cook them until they are "slightly" opaque. Cook them until they are milky white inside and no more--this will retain the sweetness and firm, yet tender texture of the meat without that gummy texture caused by the salt freeze. Maybe down here on the Gulf Coast, we just eat our shrimp different from this recipe.
