We like spice, so I sauted the shrimp in a diced serrano pepper as well as some chili powder. Overall, it was a good dish, but I still felt like it was missing something. I added some sour cream like other reviewiers suggested. I think it needed both more salt and more sweet. For that reason, the Miracle Whip suggestions make sense.

This is a pretty tasty salad. I used 16 oz of seashell pasta - 8 oz just didn't seem like enough. Only other thing I increased was the dressing a bit and just by eye. I used 2 lbs of cooked salad shrimp because I hate canned seafood of any kind (except for tuna) and wasn't in the mood to spend $28.00/lb for lump crabmeat (for company I would splurge). Other than that used the called for measurements. Just beware of the Old Bay seasoning - I find it very salty so I added slowly and didn't even use salt while cooking my pasta. Really enjoyed this and first day it's not dry even with the added pasta. Might absorb the dressing by tomorrow but it's such an easy problem to fix...not sure why that complaint is even an issue. I will make this again.

Excellent seafood salad. This certainly gets added to my keeper recipes. I did end up adding a bit more Old Bay, otherwise followed the recipe. It's delicious as is or it's a great start to being creative. Can't go wrong.

This is killer!!! I did not have fresh crab so used canned, did have fresh shrimp (21's)and did not cut them up. The big chunks were perfect. I felt that it was a little bland so added crushed red peppers...oh about a teaspoon and some salt. Great salad.

Great recipe!!! We loved it and will be making it again. The only change I'll make next time is slightly more lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Update, months later. I've made this recipe many, many times and it is now a family fave. I continue to add a little more lemon juice, and the salt and pepper, and in order to cut costs I sometimes add a little less seafood. Sometimes I change up the veggies I add too, depending on what I have on hand or what I forgot to buy. All in all this is a fabulous recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I must say that I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great. I only strayed away from the recipe slightly. When I cooked my shrimp I added garlic to the butter first. I also seasoned my salad with allspice. I forgot to put the lemon juice in it, but it still turned out delicious. I am not big on measuring as I cook so I am not sure how much green onions, red bell peppers or celery made it in but it did turned out great. My son loved it and said it was really good so I know it was good because he is not a salad eater. ****Update****I took this salad with me on a bus trip and my husband who is very picky loved it. He tried to eat it all. This is definitely a keeper.

This was soooo good. I used 1lb. regular sized raw shrimp, sauteed them and then cut into pieces. I also used 1/2lb. fresh backfin crabmeat. We love Old Bay so I added extra. My husband's friends all ate it and said it was award winning. I will definitely make this again.

This was really good!! I used canned crab and shrimp (it works better with my budget), I omitted the celery but added some celery salt. I also didn't do the almonds...it sounded kinda leary to me. I increased the Old Bay, used 1/2 c. (each) sour cream, mayo & miracle whip. This was soooo yummy!! My husband said it was one of the best seafod salads he's eaten!! I'll defintely make this again!!

UMMM! So very yummy, even leftovers the next day. I used 1 tsp of seasoning + a little extra. Next time I might add black olives or hard boiled eggs. Fed 8 perfectly! And I couldn't find fresh crab so I used 2 cans of crab.

My guests (as I) absolutely LOVED this dish!!! I used salad shrimp, canned crab, and rotini pasta. I only added a very small amount of cheese (I forgot)....all in all it was still GREAT! I'll add this to my favorites. I also went with other's recommendations and added more Old Bay (while cooking the crab and shrimp together with butter and garlic), and added the powdered Ranch packette. Scrumptious!

This is a delicious basic recipe, however I thought it a bit bland. This was a main dish at aladies luncheon and 8 ounces of pasta doesn't nearly serve eight.I'm so glad I had made other salads. For the crunch factor I doubled the diced celery, increased the Old Bay by 3 times and increased the dressing, using 1/2 cup lite sour cream, 1/2 cup lite mayo and 1/2 cup miracle whip. I left out the cheese. I feel it only adds extra fat with no flavor.I think a little diced hard boiled egg would have added a nice flavor, as well.Yummy. Thanks for sharing, Michelle.

Very good! My family is weary of onions so I used a sweet vidalia and sauted it so they didn't stand out when mixed into the salad. I did not have celery and used celery salt. I also used half the amount of noodles and added a couple tablespoons of sour cream YUM!

This recipe was excellent! A real crowd pleaser. My husband made it for a dinner for our parents and everyone loved it. The only things he changed were that he did not use any crab or pasta and he doubled the old bay because of other users comments. He ate the leftovers tonight and now there is nothing left. Thanks for the great recipe!

I served this dish with our Christmas dinner. My husband would like for me to make it a couple times a month. The only thing that he suggests is to leave out the pasta and the almonds.

Yummo! My hubby is a fan of a bought Seafood Salad andI thought I was going to struggle to compete but this recipe won him over first bite! Love the almonds in it but recommend using pre-peeled prawns from the fish shop to save time. Kepps beautifully overnight for lunch next day (as long as you hide it from hubby in the back of the fridge)! Looking forward to taking this to my next bbq!
