I personally think this recipe is a good base, but made as is I think it's very boring. So next time I would try horseradish sauce, garlic salt, maybe some mustard... I'll have to read they the reviews and see what "zip" people have used. Also, its a good idea to cut up the shrimp. Thanks!

Love, love this salad! I did not have any celery so I substituted chopped cucumber. I also cut the mayo in half and substituted plain greek yogurt. I too chopped and dried the shrimp. What a fresh, delicious taste, served with crackers! I WILL be fixing this one again!

I halved the recipe in order to use up a 1/2 pound of steamed shrimp leftover from Valentines Day dinner. I was using baby carrots so I just had to estimate how much would estimate 1/2 a regular carrot. I whirled the carrots and onion in my small food processor and chopped the celery fine. I added a couple good shakes of lemon pepper. DH said it was a keeper.

This is by far the absolute best shrimp salad I have ever eaten! Hands down this is a winner. I added it to our menu for the year! The only changes I made were: *Use a low-fat mayonnaise and only enough to bind the stuff together, not make it soupy *Use already hard boiled and peeled eggs from the dairy section if you are like me and hate peeling hard boiled eggs *Use 1- one pound bag of frozen, jumbo shrimp that are already peeled and cooked. Pull the tails off and roughly chop them up into large chunks The end result was spectacular! This would be a fantastic meal on top of some Bibb lettuce leaves and some crusty bread on the side. So if you find yourself wanting to make something, I highly recommend this dish. Oh, and it’s easy and hardly any cleanup.

I am rating a good score because the boiled egg just didn't work for us at all. I added 4 oz cooked large elbow pasta and used miracle whip instead of mayo and this was a huge hit for the man-friends lunch. He loved the cool and refreshing option to his usual lunches of pasta salads. Make sure you use the right ratio of shrimp to celery, it could drown out the fact that this IS a shrimp salad not celery salad. NIKIJO, this is a wonderful basic recipe to tweek to individual preferences!

Made this tonight with grilled chicken breasts...this is a great salad with very little effort! I added chopped radish and used light mayo. I only had cocktail shrimp on hand but it was still excellent. I highly recommend this salad. My wife and I loved it!!!

I liked it a lot! It dissapeared so fast! But it's missing something it desperately needs - spice. I was thinking about trying a marinade for the shrimp because I barely tasted it, maybe I'd cut down a little on mayo too but it was yummy! Ate in a croissant! :) Mmm

As a new cook, i'm always looking for quick and easy receipes. This dish was quick and delicious. The only change I made, was that I used green onions. My husband requests this all the time now :)

Such a refreshing salad! Thank you for giving a base recipe. I must admit I tweeked it a bit. Instead of 3/4 cups of mayonnaise I used 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt. I then also added to your recipe, the juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove minced, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried dill weed. Served on dinner rolls with spinach and tomato to make little sandwiches. DEEELISH!
