Light and Healthy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love the green olives in this recipe., I added cellery. I actually used Emerill's seasoning when cooking the... shrimp, lots of it. I also used brown rice instead of white. I omited the mayo and ate it with a spoon. Read more

Okay, but I added a few things
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I added the following spices to this salad: Beau Monde, Lemon Pepper, Onion Powder, and a few dashes of Tobasco. Improved... the flavor greatly. Also I used less mayo and added some EVOO for moistness. Less calories and a bit healthier. Tasted great over butter lettuce with a splash of EVOO and vinegar.Read more

Easy & Absolutely delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for a ladies luncheon that I attended a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say it was the hit dish. I am... taking it to Louisiana to serve my family at Thanksgiving. Absolutely one of the best shrimp dishes I have ever put in my mouth. I cannot imagine anyone not liking this dish. Way to go Paula Deen. You rock!!!!!! I told my brother that I feel my name should be Debbie Deen! LOLRead more

Partial rating for partial ingredients

I didn't add the rice or olives (im pregnant and wanted the salad ASAP) but it came out good. I notice on the show she mixed... lemon juice in the mayo but that step is not listed on the website.Read more

Disgusting
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the instructions completely and it looked good but when I added the mayo to the rice it changed the flavor of the... entire dish. It went from looking good to something that you can buy at the gas station in the middle of a country road. It tastes terrible.Read more

Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this shrimp salad just as the recipes says, and took it to work for lunch with some leaves of butter lettuce to make... "cups." I was getting swarmed left and right by my co-workers for a taste. Well, needless to say, it disappeared pretty fast. And now I get requests all the time to bring it in again...Read more
