🍽️HOW TO MAKE
Recipes like this are always super easy and since all you need to do is combine the ingredients and mix with a spoon. Chill for a bit and enjoy! The longest part of this process is chopping up the vegetables.
If you don’t use cooked shrimp you will need to cook it and let it chill. We buy the cooked kind for this salad, it just saves time!
⭐TIP
Use already cooked shrimp to save time with this salad. You can use whatever size shrimp you prefer we use medium sized shrimp.

My husband said this was excellent!! Shortcut = bought the peeled/steamed shrimp and brought it home to add the rest. So good!
YAY!! So glad it was a hit! Thats a great tip!
What can we substitute for old bay seasoning?
Really any seasonings you like.. just add your favorite? If you want it to taste like this, you would need to google what makes up old bay seasoning.
Possibly the best shrimp salad I’ve ever eaten. I used large defrosted frozen cooked shrimp which made prep. super easy.
We are so thrilled to hear this! Thank you so much for letting us know!
This is so good! Light & refreshing…perfect for summer lunch!
I’m making it now for the 4th of July get together. I have been doing this exact recipe now since around 2010 and it is always the favorite dish for these pot luck’s. With seafood prices the way they are right now, I add 1 lbs of immitation crab/lobster to stretch this out. Don’t forget the Creole seasoning!!!
I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Thank you
This is delicious! I had to leave out the celery seed because of dietary restrictions but I have made it twice and gotten rave reviews!
Wonderful!! So glad this recipe was a hit!
This recipe is very much like One I had years ago at a restaurant in Savannah, Ga. I look forward to making this for my family.
