I can’t cook but this seems easy. I might give it a shot.
I made this for a gathering and everyone loved it! Will make again for sure.
I don’t like shrimp but I tried it with chicken, still pretty good!
This salad was a hit at my BBQ! So creamy and flavorful! I’m definitely making it again.
Wow, that sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it at my next gathering!
Shrimp and macaroni? sounds weird but surprisingly it works!
It was alright, but I don’t think shrimp and pasta go together well. Not my fav.
I think shrimp and pasta can be great together! Maybe you just need to try a different sauce next time.
I dunno, I like shrimp with my noodles, but this salad ain’t my cup of tea either.
Yummy!! I added some chili flakes for a kick. So delicious!
I found this recipe to be too rich for my taste. Maybe less mayo next time?
I think there’s too much mayo! It overpowers everything. Next time I’ll use less.
not tasty.. my kids hated it! Do kids even like shrimp? I don’t know!
Ew, shrimp in salad? That’s just wrong! Who eats that?!
I totally disagree! Shrimp in salad is delicious! You should try it before judging!
Delicious!!!
I love this salad! It’s perfect for summer BBQs.
This is so refreshing! I love the combination of shrimp and macaroni. Perfect for summer.
Yummy! My kids loved it! Even my picky eater. Success! 🌟
That’s awesome to hear! I love when kids find new favorites! 🥳
