I would not recommend this recipe. The salad was bland and unappetizing.

This salad was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing.

I found that the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.

This shrimp salad is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then enjoy it for lunch throughout the week.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from my salad. It was still very good.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used pre-cooked shrimp to save time, and it still turned out great.

This shrimp salad was a hit at my last potluck! The crunchy texture from the celery and almonds added a nice contrast to the tender shrimp. I also loved the tangy dressing.
