This recipe was extracted from Temperance cook book (1887) by Mary G. Smith, page 48. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

SHRIMP SALAD, This may be made either of the canned or fresh shrimps. If the latter are used, the shells must be cracked and the meat picked out carefully. In either case they must be cut rather fine with a sharp knife. Heap upon crisp lettuce leaves, and pour over them a mayonnaise dressing
