Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • If you use chilled ingredients, there is no need to chill for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Be sure to remove the tails of the shrimp before cutting them into pieces.
  • Add more mayonnaise if the salad is too dry.
  • Serve this on a large platter lined with lettuce leaves as an appetizer or a salad. Or serve it on bread or a croissant as a sandwich.
