I did enjoy this, but it lacked a little "something", not sure what. Maybe more dill and lemon? Or maybe some celery salt and more black pepper? Definitely a recipe that could EASILY be tweeked to personal preferences.

This was excellent! I used 1/2 c. fat free plain yogurt and 1/2 c. low fat mayo instead of 1 c. mayo. I used the larger frozen shrimp and cut them in 1/2. Next time, I'll use grape tomatoes, cut in half. Thanks for posting!

I used fresh everything from my greenhouse (dill, cukes, tomatoes, onions) and made this for an annual BBQ at my home. FANTASTIC flavor. I used LOTS of bigger shrimp instead of canned ones. Also, the amount of dressing was perfect for a batch and a half (my box of pasta was 13oz).

This is a wonderful salad. I didn't care for the shrimp but I can see that seafood would be wonderful in this dish. I will try it again but make a protein substitution.

This was pretty good. Not as good as the deli near my house, though. I used the small canned shrimp, as per recipe, and they were miniscule. I would definitely go with a larger shrimp next time. Also, when I was making the dressing, I thought a cup of mayo was going to be too much, so I started with a half a cup (left everything else the same), and it was perfect. I also ommited the tomatoes, because I didn't think they'd last well in the salad after the first day. One last thing, I'm not sure how much I liked the lemon in this. I love lemon, but if you plan to eat the salad right away, the lemon is over-powering. After a day or two, it's much better. Thanks.

This is good recipe but use frozen shrimp not canned! If possible, AVOID shrimp that has been peeled and deveined before freezing. It may cause a loss of flavor and texture (the shells help to protect the meat of the shrimp). I used an entire bag of U36/40 sized shrimp b/c I like a bigger shrimp in my salads. I adjusted the quantities of the veggies in the recipe to 1 c. of celery, 1 c. of cucumber, 4 small tomatoes (which I seeded) and 5 TBS of shallots. I would recommend Farfalle (bow tie) pasta instead of shells and I used more like 12 oz. Shells just seems to trap dressing which can be good or bad depending on your sensibilities. I adjusted the dressing too by adding a TBS of Worchestershire sauce and more dill but quantity wise there was plenty of dressing even with the increases in veggies and pasta. This salad needs generous amounts of salt and pepper but all in all it's very tasty.

Lots of fresh dill really added to the yum factor of this salad :-d Since I didn't have shrimp, I used salad-style imitation lobster.

My FIL brought up shrimp salad last week, and when he brought it up, it sounded so good to me. It used to be my favorite dish. We bought the ingredients and they cost about $22.00, however, we have a slew of fresh produce and pasta left over for another meal. Considering the spaghetti dish the other night cost much more at the store, I was happy. My husband demands Miracle Whip, so we did not use the mayo. I added another can of shrimp, cut back on the lemon, used dried dill (1/2 Tb) and only used 1 tomato, and 1 medium cuke. It's a nice medley of taste and texture. I could have added more dill, but know that the dish will age over the next two hours, and the 1/2 Tb will be sufficient. Thanks for sharing this recipe, and I hope to find many more recipes to try...
