Nice and easy recipe. Made as written other than subbing mini farfalle for the seashell pasta and frozen, cooked extra-small shrimp for the canned.
Substituted a Poblano pepper for the Green pepper. Added smoked paprika and chopped fresh basil for garnish. Added Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning . Added sliced black olives.
My mom and I have been making this for YEARS! Comes out soooo good. The only difference is, is that I add more cans of the canned flake shrimp, no peppers, vinegar or olives. This recipe is pretty versatile, add or takeaway any ingredient(s) according to what your family and or friends like best.
I did not add olives or sugar & I added dill & a little horseradish sauce. Also and substituted yellow onions & Dukes Mayo. Love, love
This is my daughter’s all time favorite food! I have always added curry powder to the dressing ( Miracle Whip, a little sugar, pinch of salt, white pepper and a little milk to blend and smooth). Also green olives instead of black. Yum!
This recipe was all right, but nothing spectacular. I added a small jar of artichoke hearts but otherwise made it exactly as the recipe directs. I thought the salad dressing was lacking the “wow” factor, and it didn’t get better the next day. I’ll make it again, but next time I’ll add a teaspoon of curry powder.
This recipe was very easy to make turned out really good. I didn’t have the peppers so I substituted shredded carrots and yellow squash. The tang of the dressing was just right.
I only gave this 4 stars because i am not a great lover of shrimp. I will say though that it was a huge hit at the pot luck i took it too. I am very big on food presentation and this salad looks very appetizing. I’ll make it again.
