Once potatoes are cool, add celery, green pepper and dill pickles to the potatoes. Gently combine.

Using clean hands, flake shrimp between your fingers.

Add shrimp and egg whites to the potatoes. Gently combine.

In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise and mustard powder. Whisk until well combined.

Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Pour dressing over potato mixture and gently mix to combine.

Transfer potato salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika.

Refrigerate potato salad until ready to serve.

Garnish with whole shrimps if desired.
