This was a wonderful salad! I did change and added a few things to this recipe. I omitted the sugar in the dressing as I felt it didn't need it, I also omitted the cheddar cheese and lime juice too. I added a 8oz pkg of crabmeat and 1 8oz pkg of baby shrimp, used only 2 cups of the pasta seashells. I sprinkled about a half a teaspoon of lemon pepper (this was what i used to replace the lime juice) and used red onion in place of the green onion. I also used Bacon Thousand Island dressing. Everyone from the lake really enjoyed this salad :) It was DELICIOUS! especially the second day after the seasonings had blended together. Thanks for sharing the recipe

This was very nice. I think the shrimp might have gotten a little lost in it. I used baby shrimp as directed. I did add garlic, salt, pepper, and some Old Bay in it to help it a bit. Overall, a nice salad. My DH certainly liked it a lot.

This was a very nice shrimp salad. Loved the veggies. It could have had a little more bold flavor, didn't really taste the shrimp much. However, it was easy to prepare and we have lots for leftovers!

This is a great pasta salad! I normally shy away from Thousand Island dressing but it is a great addition to this salad. I loved the veggies with the shrimp. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, LL!

This was a very nice pasta salad. Very colorful and had a great flavor. I used larger shrimp so just quartered them. I didn't get a huge shrimp taste out of this, but did really like the dill addition.
