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...

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.

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 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 have made this salad for several big gatherings and it has been a hit every time. The only thing I changed was the type of pasta used and I used big frozen shrimp. I personally like bowtie pasta. I also had fresh dill, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and shallots from my garden so that added quite a bit of flavor. I didn't add the tomatoes until I was ready to serve. I don't think there is too much mayo because I usually make it a day ahead of time. It actually tastes better the next day. If you are looking for a good shrimp salad recipe this is the one. Try it, you will love it!!!!!

I made this as written, but next time I would change a few things. I would double the pasta, double the dressing, double the shrimp and double everything else because you just want more and more! Thanks for the fabulous recipe!!

I made this for a football tailgate and everyone loved it. It went great with our burgers and hot dogs. It's the 2nd time I've made it and I'll definitely make it for other events. I might even make it again and keep it for myself!

Pretty good! I added more dill, did not use a full cup of mayo, and doubled the amount of the veggies. I also added some chopped pickles for a nice zinggy crunch. Will make again!

I made this in a hurry and let it chill for a couple hours and with a couple alterations it was pretty good. I used tuna instead of shrimp as it was what I had on hand. Also skipped the cucumber and tomato. Otherwise followed it and everyone was really happy. I likely used double the dill as I wasn't using a measuring cup but more dill is so so good!!
