Tantalizing Mandarin Orange Shrimp Salad image

This salad is a real crowd pleaser or just right for your family dinner or picnic. I triple this recipe for our church functions. It is always the first salad to go. It's often requested by many. I have made this salad with the poppy seed dressing for over 30 years. The photo(s) are mine.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili sauce.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this salad. I followed the recipe exactly, but it turned out really bland.

I was disappointed with this salad. The dressing was too thick and goopy, and the shrimp was tough.

The shrimp in this salad was overcooked and rubbery. I would recommend cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less mandarin oranges.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen shrimp, and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.
