For shrimp:

Place shrimp in a pot of boiling water that has been seasoned with 2 t salt, 1 t red pepper flakes, 3-4 bay leaves, and the juice of one lemon. Cook until shrimp are just firm to the touch. Drain and cool. Remove peels and dice.

1/2 t celery seed
1/4 t salt
1/2 t pepper
Zest of one lemon
Zest of one lime

Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth. Chill.
