Excellent potato salad! I have a new favorite to add to my potato salad recipes. This one is really to die for, especially if you love shrimp. I added a few shakes of Old Bay Seasoning, to give it a little zip. It is sooooooooo good, you gotta try it. I am going to try this sometime with crab instead of the shrimp too.

I thought my mother invented this recipe. Her additions were fresh dill and cayenne pepper to give the shrimp a chance to bite back. I love this recipe!!!

Update, I have made this recipe several times now, and this last time with the olives, and it was very enjoyable! Everyone loved it. My DH says this one deserves 10 stars it that's possible! Linda, This potato salad is the most delicious one I have ever made. I left out the olives, as my dd doesn't like them, but other than that I did it by the recipe, and I have to tell you, it was a winner in my house! We had it with BBQ ribs and corn on the cob. What a delightful dinner it was!

This is one tasty Potato Salad Linda! I drained the canned shrimp well and it wasn't soggy at all. In fact, using the shredded canned shrimp incorporated it well into the salad, giving flavor throughout the salad instead of just individual shrimp scattered in the salad as Parsley suggests. Parsley's picture looks totally different than it should because she used whole shrimp, and it looks soupy. Mine came out exactly as Linda's did in her pictures, using the shredded canned shrimp, and the texture and the flavor from the canned shredded shrimp pulled the salad together. Also, I can't imagine putting garlic powder in this recipe, as I don't think it would taste right with the flavors of this salad, and using mayo and sour cream would make this soupy as well. The mayonnaise gives it the texture and taste it needs to make this really special. Sometimes just following the recipe as written is best! It's excellent as written. Make it that way, and you won't be disappointed!

Linda, I could kiss you this potato salad is so darn good! I made it exactly as stated, and loved it. I made it with Adam's Ribs, and it went beautifully with these ribs. This recipe is the best I have ever had, so I am adding it to my very favorites. I hope others try this, it is easy, and the results are terrific!

Had this recipe along with Sticky Chicken and it was delicious. We made as written, because we like a nice held together potato salad without it being runny. Came out perfect! Loved the addition of the canned shrimp. We drained it well and flaked it per instructions. Couldn't have tasted better. This gets more then 5 stars from us, although 5 will have to do, as that's as high as they go! We will make this often now that we have a recipe that we finally all agree on that is the best for our tastes! Excellent -Thanks Linda for this winner! Tony

This went great with my marinated grilled steak and broccoli salad. I used the canned shrimp and would suggest you do the same to get the wonderful flavor they bring to this salad. The ingredients blend perfectly and the salad is so flavorful. We think this is one awesome dish and we will be enjoying it throughout the summer and fall!

Shrimp and potatoes - 2 of my favorite things to eat. Together this recipe makes a masterpiece that we all enjoyed at my house yesterday in the back yard! The weather was hot and sticky and this was so refreshing and delicious! I agree that the canned shrimp certainly adds to the pulling together of this salad and would use the canned over the fresh for that reason. It flavors it so good too! I made following the recipe exactly. We had it along with grilled chicken and coleslaw. This is one potato salad that stands out from most others I have had. Ya gotta try it! Don

This was SO GOOD!!! I used the canned shrimp and we LOVED it! I am so glad I came across this recipe when someone did a review on it awhile back. It went perfectly with our barbecued chicken on the grill. I can't wait to have it again. My DS and his GF had 2 helpings and wanted to bring home the leftovers they loved it so much. If your looking for a really good refreshing salad to try look no further! Excellent Linda, and such a nice change!
