Notes

This recipe can easily be made into a shrimp pasta salad by adding your favorite pasta to the mixture and a bit more dressing. Add fresh dill to the salad for an additional herbal boost.

You may also add some chopped avocados to the shrimp salad and/or hard-cooked eggs. The varieties are endless. But this shrimp salad recipe is excellent as is.

You may also switch the seasonings from Old Bay to Taco to give the shrimp salad more of Tex-Mex vibe.
