- Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water and set it aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and fi rm, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon or strainer; place them in the ice water to chill. Drain and blot dry with paper towels. Coarsely chop the cooked shrimp and set aside.
- Combine the radishes, celery, pickles, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and tarragon in a large bowl.
- Add the shrimp and stir until all the ingredients are well combined; stir in the salt, pepper, and hot red pepper sauce.
- To store: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- For an easier take on this salad: Use 1 pound frozen, precooked cold-water (“baby” or “salad”) shrimp, thawed. Because they are so small, do not chop them.
