- 2 lbs raw shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

- Heat a large skillet on medium heat.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, tossing the shrimp every so often for about 5 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and begin to curl into a "C" shape. Immediately remove the skillet from heat and using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pan and place them in a large bowl. Allow the shrimp to cool slightly.
- While the shrimp are cooling, combine the mayo, hot sauce and 1/4 cup of the blue cheese (if using) in a small bowl. Stir to incorporate and add any additional hot sauce or spices to suit your taste.
- Once the shrimp have cooled, toss the shrimp in the creamy hot sauce mixture. Toss to coat and fold in chopped celery, scallions and carrots. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle remaining blue cheese and any leftover onion for decoation.
