I like this recipe but I omit the ketchup and dill and add 2 tablespoons of seafood cocktail sauce...I like the taste of the horseradish in the cocktail sauce...
Loved it - Every recipe of Chef John's is a hit. Sprinkled parmigiana on top - even better.
The juice of a whole lemon??? I don't think so. I used 2T of fresh lemon juice, and then added 1T sugar, more mayo, and sour cream to tone down the tart taste of the lemon. I also added chopped sweet onion. Was out of cayenne, so used 5-pepper blend. The recipe calls for 1/3 C. chopped dill. 1/4 C. of chopped fresh dill is more than enough. Depending on preference, add peas, bacon pieces, or even chopped hard boiled egg. Good recipe.
Best ever shrimp and pasta salad.
this was great! Made it spur of the moment. Better than any deli salad. Very easy with mostly common ingredients. I didnt have the fresh dill but used dried instead and a shake of terragon. Turned out great with the dried herbs. So if you dont have the fresh dill dont pass this one over for that reason, just used the dried. I did cut the dried back a bit. Added a tiny bit of finely chopped green onion to the dressing for an extra kick of flavor. Also used a combo of salad shrimo and immitation crab because that is what I had on hand. This recipe lends itself to lots of variety. Definitely a keeper!
This is an excellent starter recipe. I added some things. One pound of blue crab meat along with the shrimp, one tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, capers, and as suggested four strips of crispy cooked BACON. Ya gotta love this guys recipes, he really knows his stuff.
Love shrimp & this recipe is the bomb! Organized & made as advertised. Added some green onions, but otherwise, this is delicious served on a bed of greens (with a touch of oil & vinegar). I'll admit that I did use some sour cream in place of some of the mayo. Just a touch of health concern. Noticed some reviewers added peas -- yea, can do....and can think of fresh asparagus as an option also. Yum. Follow the recipe and you'll be pleased -- and please, please, don't omit the dill. Shrimp, mayo and dill go beautifully together.
We really enjoyed this salad. I halved the recipe and two of us nearly ate all of it for dinner. I followed another's suggestion and instead of ketchup and dill I subbed cocktail sauce. I wish I'd added peas too but will next time. I used frozen cooked shrimp which I cut into bite sized pieces. Delicious! I will be making this again.
This was the best shrimp salad I have ever made. I followed the recipe exactly and added about a 1/2 cup of thawed frozen peas. I will make this again.
This was okay, a bit on the bland side. I might have screwed up the recipe though by adding a bit much pasta and less shrimp than called for.
