My eleven lady luncheon guests today gave you a definite 5 star review (although I must admit I tweeked it a bit)! Nine out of 11 requested the recipe. As others suggested, I didn't use all the dressing, although I did make the entire dressing recipe (thought I might need more since I tore some romaine lettuce and put it on the bottom for those who chose to dig deeper to incorporate some lettuce as well). I increased the scallions to 3/4 cup, as well as the tomatoes and red bell pepper. Dill weed is always a must for my taste buds so I added about 3/4 tsp. I also included 2 stalks of diced celery. In the description of the recipe it included parsley, but wasn't included in the ingredients, so I guessed and added ~1/2 cup of fresh snipped parsley from my garden. Oh yes, I also included about 1/2 tsp. of minced garlic in the salad dressing; and the horseradish is a MUST in my opinion! Now, the shrimp you use is also critical as far as I'm concerned: no canned, no frozen, only fresh boiled in my kitchen. I served the salad with sour dough rolls and razzelberry pie with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. This is a GREAT salad and one I will serve again and again and again. You made me proud today and I thank you for that PotPie!

Loved it! I did serve it on top of torn romaine and reduced the amount of mayo by half. It was made the night before and enjoyed today at lunch. It is super easy to put together. Thanks for sharing.

We really enjoyed this salad at lunch today. I loved the "zip" of cocktail sauce and horseradish. It was a great 1 dish meal. Thanks for posting! Nick's Mom

Great tasting pasta salad, we loved the flavors in the dresssing, the ranch dressing, cocktail sauce & horseradish along with the other flavors was very tasty with the shrimp & pasta. I did cut back on the mayonnaise as did Paula G. Used cherry tomatoes cutting them in half and serving on a bed of Romaine lettuce.Thanks for the tasty salad!

Excellent! Loved the dressing... it's tangy and zingy. I used elbow macaroni and not quite the full 1 cup of mayonnaise. I garnished with some sliced scallion tops. I would proudly bring this saladf to a putluck/picnic. Thanx for sharing!

Made this for my husband for lunch. He finshed the whole thing. I did do some changes - I added carrots to our and for shrimp I used cooked shrimp with garlic. I Left out the cocktail sauce and Lemon.. This is nice. Next time this will be for me...

This was a great salad, loved the dressing. It was a hit at the bbq I took it to for Labor Day! I used the whole box of pasta because there was only a small amount left after measuring out the 3 cups, and from reading past reviews I figured there'd be plenty of dressing. Thanks
