"I just returned from a family reunion, and wanted to say thank you for this recipe. It received more rave reviews and recipe requests than any other dish there. I did take the advice of several earlie..." See morer postings, and substituted frozen shrimp and cajun seasoning rather than the canned shrimp and regular salt. I also made one other substitution - I used pasta rather than rice. I realize that this is a rather large change, but the 8 ounces of penne pasta made for a wonderful pasta salad. I can assure you that I will be making this again in the future. Thanks again."

"I really liked this salad. My hubby wants more meat next time. I did use frozen shrimp as others recommended. I used more spices than in the recipe such as red pepper,Old Bay seasoning, and more mince..." See mored garlic. I like the flavor of this salad at room temp. better than cold. Next time I make it I am going to add more cooked bacon right before serving. I don't like soggy bacon."

"In the time it took the bacon and rice to cook I had all of the veggies chopped and the dressing put together. And most of the ingredients are things most of us keep on had so it added less than $5 (..." See morefor the shrimp) to my grocery bill. And best of all it was a big hit at out Mardi Gras pot luck. Thanks for sharing. I will make this one again and again."
