Shrimp Egg Salad

I made this for myself this morning, planning ahead for lunch. I prepared it as the recipe directed, gave it a taste for seasoning (salt and pepper), was satisfied, so I thought, with the 3-star rating I planned on giving it and put it in the fridge. And then I took it back out of the fridge, not completely happy with it. While it certainly was ok and acceptable, it lacked contrasts in color and textures and the flavor fell somewhat flat. It lacked interest. It was sort of boring. So I went to work on it to take care of all my criticisms - I added sliced celery, chopped green onion, and thawed, frozen peas. Added a little more mayonnaise to compensate for the additions. Gave it a taste and it was much improved. I put it back in the fridge and as I did so I noticed the bacon I had in there.... I pulled it back out, nuked some bacon till crisp and folded it into the shrimp salad. These additions definitely elevated this to 5 stars and was SO good it never made it till lunchtime.

I had some leftover shrimp and since my hubby loves egg salad I decided to give this a shot. He turned his nose up at first, because he thought it sounded weird, but he ended up asking if I could make more of it! I added some chopped celery and served it in pita pockets with lettuce and sliced tomato. Excellent, thanks for the recipe!

simple recipe, delicious. Recommend adding celery

This was wonderful!! I added 1 Tbl. pickle relish, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper to mine. It's also good served as a sandwich on wheat bread. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really wonderful. We used whole wheat tortillas and made roll ups. Next time I'll try egg whites rather than whole eggs, and low fat mayo to see if it makes a good lower fat meal.

I doubled this recipe and brought it to a 4th of July cookout last night. It was the first thing to go! My husband, who is not a fan of egg salad, loved it. I served it in a large glass bowl lined with lettuce leaves as I would potato salad. This recipe would be awesome as a sandwich.

This was easy and delicious. I did add some diced celery to give it a little crunch. I plan on leaving out the dill the next time I make it. We served it on fresh croissants and it made a wonderful meal for a hot summer night.

Excellent! Something a bit different to do with leftover shrimp. Added minced onion and garlic powder. Thanks for a wonderful lunch!

A great twist on classic egg salad. We ate it on low carb tortillas.

This sounded so weird but so good at the same time that I had to try it. Boyfriend was a bit leery of it at first as well, but he agreed with me that it was really, really good. I didn't have any dill, fresh or otherwise, so I added garlic powder, onion flakes, a bit of Old Bay, and a lot of black pepper. Next time, I may use fresh garlic and onion. We had it on both whole wheat tortillas and Flatout bread. It may take a few moments and bites to warm up to, but it is definitely worth it. The leftovers were even better. Thanks!

Great reciepe!!! I did not have dill, so I added a little cilantro. Very yummey!! So much so, to me, it is worth buying shrimp just for this purpose. I had used left over large shrimp, just made yesterday for peel and eat.

Excellent way to use left over shrimp. Will definitely make again!

loved this - for a twist I added chopped tomatoe and served over avocado instead of lettuce

this receipe is good, not great. i think adding some red onion and celerey along with more mustard would make it better. I don't think it is worth it to make this since it does not taste much better than regular egg salad without the shrimp.

Everyone either loved it or hated it

Simple, but excellent! Thank you for posting.

Very good recipe, simple and tasty. I used a can of tiny shrimp and cut the recipe in half for us. We will defiantly make this again!

Amazing. Never liked egg salad because I don't like crunchy onions and celery but had some leftover shrimp I wanted to use. Served on crackers. Was absolutely delicious. Definitely making again!!!

Good quick meal.

i liked it but I also addded to give it more zip. I added green pepper , peas ,grainy mustard,abit of horseradish,bacon, and tabassco. I think it was a very good starter recipe and you can add whatever you like. I served this in half of avacado. very good

Sooo good! My whole family loved it even though they were skeptical! They just asked for it again the other day!

Great way to use left over shrimp. I added celery, onion and cayenne pepper, though, to give it a little kick.

I used canned shrimp. This is soooooo good!

egg salad+shrimp. great if you like both of those things...

This just didn't do that much for either me or my hubby. It seemed like a waste of shrimp because we couldn't really taste it. We'll just stick with egg salad sans shrimp.

This was a nice little treat. The shrimp adds just the right touch. Loved it.

Easy to make and refreshing for the summer. I kept it overnight in the fridge before serving. Came out delicious!

I really enjoyed this recipe, i added a little fresh onion along with the rest of the recipe. My husband loved it.

I made this for a work potluck using fresh white and whole wheat bread. Everyone gave rave reviews! Excellent twist to traditional egg salad.

did not taste good at all!!!!! was not a hit in my house and we eat eggs every day and seefood 3-4 times a week.

This was delicious! I love shrimp and eggs together, a great combo!

I loved this salad! The shrimp and egg work well together. I did follow Naples' suggestions and added chopped celery, green onions, thawed frozen peas and salt and pepper. Nice light lunch over lettuce. Thanks for this excellent recipe that will be great in the warmer weather especially!

Love this. Great low carb meal. Lightly seasoned the shrimp with Old Bay, added some chopped white onion and fresh cilantro. I think the cilantro really gave it that "fresh salad" taste! Will definitely make this again.

needed something to give it some crunch. a bit of diced celery did the trick.

I was going to make the shrimp recipe when I realized their is peas in it.(picture). Am I righty. Giving it 1 star other wise comment would not be accepted

I added 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped green onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, one table spoon of sweet pickle relish. 2 roma tomatoes quartered. It disappeared in short order. will make it again.

I enjoyed it but nothing special.

This was a wonderful recipe for leftover marinated shrimp from allrecipes. I did not have a pound of shrimp leftover so only added 2 eggs but did add the suggested celery, green onion, and peas suggested by another reviewer. It was so good I doubt there will be enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!

It was very good, but could've used some more flavor.

His recipe turned out great. It is a definite keeper. I did tweak my a bit with a few of my favorite ingredients. I added chopped celery, garlic powder, fresh parsley and cilantro, a little crushed red pepper flakes and served it on a bed of iceberg lettuce with fresh tomato wedges. My husband loved it.

I gave this a 4 only because I felt like it needed more seasoning because it was a bit bland. I made it exactly as the recipe was written to start off with to be able to given an honest review. Refrigerated it a few hours for the flavors to blend together. I added more dill and some salt and pepper which made a difference. I then added celery for a little crunch. It was perfect. I then made the mistake of adding bacon as another reviewer did and it changed it up to much. You loose that awesome dill flavor by doing this. I will make this again with extra dill and some celery but no bacon.

Followed the recipe to the letter. Had to add another tps of mustard and another tbs of mayonnaise. Turned out well. It took considerably longer than 15 minutes. 12 minutes to cook the eggs and another 14 minutes to cool. Another 5 minutes to chop and mix the eggs and shrimp. I will make it again. Recommend refrigerating for about 4 hours before serving.

Oh my gosh! This tastes soooo GOOD! Thank you! I added celery and salt and pepper and it tasted like perfection. Pretty healthy too.
