This is the best shrimp pasta salad I've ever had, even better than my Mom's, and she's a great cook. I had never added peas or horseradish before and they really kicked up the flavor of this salad. I only used 1/2 teaspoon of the horseradish because I thought it might be too hot, but it wasn't at all, so next time I'll use the entire 1 teaspoon. Thanks for posting this terrific recipe that I'll be making many times again!!

This pasta salad is great! I used whole wheat pasta I already had cooked and kept all other ingredients the same. LOVED the addition of the horseradish! Thanks for sharing, Marlene. **Made for Fall PAC 2008**

Really good, cool salad. I liked the horseradish. I added more onions for extra flavor. I'd love to spice it up a bit more next time. There's lots of herbs/spices that would go great in this salad. Thanx for a great pasta salad to experiment with!

This salad was very tasty and refreshing. I made it for a luncheon at work and it was gone in minutes! Thank you for such a great alternative to the usual pasta salads...
