"I love the flavors in this pasta salad with the addition of the lemon, shrimp and Old Bay Seasoning! I often substitute whole wheat pasta in this dish... I also double the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning and lemon, adding half when I initially make it, then just before serving I add some more, so it isn't dry after sitting in the fridge for flavors..."

"I had a very similar salad in Little Italy near the Baltimore Harbor. It was fabulous! This is the closest I have come to it. This is pretty darn good too! A wonderful summertime salad! Serve as an appetizer salad, a side salad, light lunch or for brunch. It makes a very nice presentation and will be sure to impress guests. :)
P.S. Do not substitute..."

"I've been making this for years. I usually just "chop and dump", so I've gotten the proportions as close as I can, I think. Add more or less mayo, if you like, because I usually don't measure. The same with the tarragon and dill weed. Add more if you like it, less if you don't."

"This is a recipe that was going around in the 70's. I use 1 cup fresh seafood for each of each the canned ingredients now, but I'm posting this as it is on my old recipe card. This is a base recipe, and very versatile. You can add seasonings, fresh herbs, sweet pickle relish, etc. I use tri- colored spiral pasta."

"I came up with this recipe about 15 years ago, I make it for potlucks and such and its always cleaned up quick. takes a bit of time for chopping and such but is worth every bit of it. This makes a large batch, but can be cut in half for smaller appetites. Tastes even better when made a day ahead."

"This is sort of a concoction from several recipes I use, super easy and based off the recipe my mother made for us as kids. Pretty kid friendly, at least in our house, and is always great leftover. Can substitute cooked shrimp to cut down on prep time. Can be served warm or chilled, but we prefer it warm."
