Added celery and red bell peppers. Also a little dash of brandy in the dressing.

Loved this! I doubled the recipe and used thawed 90-100 per pound shrimp. The steps list celery, but there is no celery in the ingredient list. I just used 1 full stalk for the doubled recipe. I may add some dill next time. Thanx!
