I mixed in some (chilled) pasta into this salad and it made a whole meal. Delicious!

Interesting combination. I've never had shrimp in egg salad before. After tasting, before serving, I did add just a tad bit of salt. :)

What a fabulous idea for egg salad. Egg salad is sometimes, well just too eggy and this was a welcome variation. We had a bunch of leftover shrimp from a party last night, and I made this salad for lunch today. A wonderful salad for a summer day. Made as directed; but after a taste test, I added a bit of kosher salt and black pepper.

This is a great egg salad. Very different from any I have tried and I mean that in a good way. I used pre-cooked large shrimp and coarsely chopped them. I spread this on crackers but my husband used this as a filling for a sandwich. Very tasty and made an easy, quick lunch. The bacon is a nice touch. Thanks for posting.

This is a lovely egg salad! Absolutely delicious with lots of different textures. I used salad shrimp and left them whole. Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe!
