I actually served this as a main dish, this first time around, & believe me, I'll be making this again before long, because I want to dice everything pretty fine, including the shrimp & serve it as a spread for the next monthly group I host! I know it'll be a big hit with them as well! Thanks, much, for sharing a great keeper recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

I made this using chili sauce in place of the ketchup and with 2-3 shakes of Tabasco. It was tonights main along with the crackers, cantaloupe slices and iced tea. It made a wonderful light summer meal. SO easy! make it in the cool of the morning and it's chilled, ready and delicious for serving time.

A luncheon treat we won't forget! This was absolutely wonderful, with the high heat here in Maryland we were looking for something cooling, using fresh ingredients, and this was it! I didn't change anything...and served with crackers, a knife, and a little fork for spooning and placing. The cocktail sauce was out of this world! Thanks for such a lovely treat!
