I got a kick out of the reviewers who couldn’t find “shrimp salad” !!! Really good summer meal choice. Only modification was to add some chopped jalapenos . I will make this again as my garden’s Romas are starting to ripen!!!
This is a delicious, easy recipe! I also could not find salad shrimp so I bought medium shrimp and cut them in half! I doubled the recipe because it was for a party and it was gone in 10 minutes!
Recipe is great. I added sweet Chile peppers and chopped avocado for additional flavor. My family loved it.
Oh my this is sooooooo good! I’ve made 3 batches in the last 2 weeks and it disappears quickly. I added a little fresh jalapeño and an diced avocado for even more goodness. Such a low calorie and healthy treat! I’ve turned at least 4 others onto this recipe already too – it’s too good not to share!
It had no taste. Not one person liked it. I brought home the left overs and added bottled Salas to it to give it some flavor then it was eatable.
Brought this to a Barbecue, but they weren’t going to cook hamburgers or hotdogs. So I stepped it up and came up with this as an appetizer. There wasn’t ANY LEFT! The only thing I changed was one of your reviewers mentioned using Picco de Gallo instead of cutting everything up. Saved me a lot of time and thank goodness I doubled the recipe. The only problem now is my family will expect me to bring from now on!
This is for Justine and those that couldn’t find shrimp salad…..it’s “salad shrimp”, the little tiny ones that you can get in Belair (and other stores) butcher dept. or in cans located with the tuna, etc.
Great recipe, too bad shrimp is not cheaper!
This is a 5-star recipe. Note that the people that rate it less, got hung up on the salad shrimp….. they used shrimp salad instead. Salad shrimp is just the smallest shrimp size (real shrimp) not shrimp salad that is prepared at the grocery store deli. Fabulous! Doubled the recipe and added two finely diced jalapenos. I let it sit 6-8 hours and added mixed in two sliced avocados about an hour before serving it. The flavors were great. Wonderful recipe, will it make again!
Delicious
Next time I would not use salad shrimp but large cooked shrimp chopped, the flavor would be more powerful.
Made it for Easter. Everybody loved it!
I saw several people looking for salad shrimp. What they are referring to is the canned shrimp that are very small. Instead, I used 1/2 pound of large frozen shrimp, cooked in the microwave until pink, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. I then cut the shrimp into bit sized pieces after cooling, cleaning and peeling. I also added 2 large stalks of celery and an avocado. Top it off with 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce for some extra zing. This disappeared in my house!
This was sooooo good! I had some small, already cooked shrimp that I wanted to use up in an appetizer, and made this. Yummmm! Followed the recipe exactly, with one addition: as others have suggested, I minced up a little bit of jalapeño and tossed it in. That added just the right amount of heat. The fresh cilantro made this so tasty. Warning, though, 15% of the population taste soap when the eat cilantro, so my husband wouldn’t even try it. But it is my favourite herb, so bring it on!
I put all ingredients in a blender then added the shrimp and chilled Family says the best home made salsa yet
Easy to make and delicious. It was a crowd pleaser.

Yes I have made this n it was great. Will make it again for sure.
I also made this with the fake crab meat only because I was making grilled shrimp also. It was a hit for father’s day I actually doubled the recipe and it was ate up. The guys loved it. I will make it again with shrimp.
I doubled this recipe for a party and it was amazing!
I made this for a birthday party. It was a huge hit! I added guacamole for extra texture and jalepenos. YUM! I wanted a lighter (salad) than using a mayonnaise based shrimp salad.
