Reviews
I skipped the salt and pepper, because the 1 Tbsp Old Bay worked perfect. Great amount of protein and flavors with this recipe. I served it on Hawaiian rolls for a party.
Fantastic recipe and so addictive! I add a bit more celery and onion than called for and have included finely diced bell pepper too. Dried dill worked just fine. I LOVE shrimp and will make this often.
