Glad you mentioned the sound of the pasta salad when mixing it. I listen for that same sound when making potato salad and mention it in my tator salad video. Looks like a fantastic recipe, so please thank you father for all of us for sharing this recipe! Thanks for sharing Robin!!! Have a wonderful week!!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

T-ROY COOKS The sound is where it's at Troy! We know the tips and tricks! Hope you have a great week too!

[@Mami_Loca]

okay...I know you posted this 8yrs ago but I needed this recipe today, it's April of 2024, and THANK GOD it exists. I've been scrolling through and watching countless videos for an easy and quick shrimp salad recipe that requires very few ingredients.... Ingredients for the recipe that I have on hand and aren't bougie or hoity-toity fancy stuff (who actually has mayo with horseradish or fresh chives and dill accessible at a moment's notice?). After 3 days of searching for the perfect recipe, your video popped up and I'm grateful so I 👍🏻 this and saved it. I'm excited to prepare it as I lay everything THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE out on my counter. I'm sure it's going to be amazing. It has to be. I waited for this too long 😂. Thank you and I'm subscribing now.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad my recipe stands out from the crowd. This is a family favorite! Hope you enjoy it!

[@44cinderellaful]

Making for New Years. Thank you was looking for the tradional recipe like moms. YOU ROCK

[@AussieAngeS]

That looks amazing Robin! I never make macaroni salad much except summertime, and even then mine is pretty plain. I love this and will make it for the family. Thank you

[@RockinRobinCooks]

FitAnge S Hi Ange, do try this and try it with the super fine dice! The shrimp really adds to this too. Let me know how you like it! Enjoy today!

[@ypcomchic]

My mom uses all your ingredients plus sliced black olives and creamy French dressing. It’s sooooo good so I know yours will be gooooood too!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Sounds like your mom is a flavor innovator! I might have to recruit her for my next cooking video! 😄

[@Bootski55]

I'm a nut for a good macaroni salad. I was drooling watching you make this. I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+Bootski55 You are welcome! I hope you enjoy this recipe. Let me know!

[@davecrowther8978]

Excellent shrimp macaroni salad. Fine chopping vegetables is important! Another chef on here cooks his veggies slightly (big pieces too), but this is the best way. Cavatappi (cork screw pasta) would add to the visual. Love this!!!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thanks Dave! The super fine dice rules on this one! Thanks for watching!

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

I just saw your video. Wow, now that looks really good! I never thought to finely chop celery and onion, but you might have the secret to a good shrimp salad. Thanks! Nice to meet ya!😊

[@andymarge]

Perfect video with great directions. Thgank you making tonight!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

I hope you enjoyed the macaroni salad!

[@shirleylevey9134]

I add sour cream to mayo..celery salt..heavier on shrimp..use 50 percent shrimp to 50% macaroni.

[@jillfalls8020]

Rockin Robin this looks amazing I love anything with shrimp and pasta

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Jill, this is an awesome macaroni salad. The shrimp definitely makes it special. You've gotta try this recipe!

[@gracesmith5054]

Thank you so much, I have been looking for this recipe for years, my Aunt used to make this, after she passed on no one could remember the recipe. Now I have it. Yea

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+Grace Smith Hi Grace, sorry to hear you lost your Aunts recipe. It's so sad when I hear that. I hope my recipe will be close to your Aunts so you can enjoy it! Have a great week!

[@Thaneii]

You got a thumbs up as soon as I saw the word "shrimp." I can't wait to try this. And that's one hell of a BBQ island! I made that cold pasta salad that you did with your niece a few days ago, and while I really liked it, I had to add some chicken because I had to either use it, or lose it, so I figured I might as well mix that in as well. Like you, some of what went into my salad was produce that I grew organically. Thank you so very much, Robin.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thaneii Hi Phil, you can absolutely add chicken to the cold pasta salad. It's a great addition! That BBQ island took us over 1 year to build. It was a labor of love! You are welcome Phil! Have a great week!

[@stunninglad1]

Lovely salad.

Hi Jim you should really make this sometime. It's amazing.

[@6771Randy]

I like mine with bell pepper and green onion. I'm going to learn your super fine dice because I love onion but not big chunks. Thanks Robin, got my copy and ready to go.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

6771Randy Hi Randy, do try the super fine dice. I don't like the big crunch in certain dishes so this does the trick! Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q52akpR6bNOYl9U Thanks for watching my videos!

[@kristinecurtis8584]

I love this recipe! I put some sandwich spread in with the mayo, about three tablespoons. 😋

Instead of salt and pepper, I use Old Bay seasoning. I’m from Maryland, so it just makes sense! Otherwise, this recipe is exactly like mine.

I like babe you watch how to make it. I'm going to go back and look how to make the sauce on my phone.

Robin, that salad looks impressive. Maybe sometime you should make shrimp burritos with lime juice. I appreciate it. Byron. :)

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Byron Chandler Hi Byron, I like your request! I would probably add something else in there with the shrimp. Probably some rice. I'll work on it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

The salad looks fantastic sometimes I add jalapenos or dill pickles .

[@RockinRobinCooks]

faye pettaway Hi Faye, yes those items could work especially if you like a little heat! Have a great rest of your week.

[@frankthornal9489]

You mention the use of an Immersion Blender in the written recipe and "Like I show in the video". I didn't see it in the video and I'm curious to what you are referring to. Is it fine chopping the onions and celery?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+Frank Thornal Hi Frank, I apologize for the mistake on the website written version. I will fix that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It is best to cut the onion and celery by hand as I show in the video. Sorry for the confusion.

[@edwardlowe8428]

Robin, I'll concede that yours is the Best if you will try to make uncle Ed's famous macaroni salad using the exact ingredients I asked for. Of course you can't get the Phily dinner's creamy salad dressing, so you can use any good salad dressing you like. Fair ?

[@locamente10]

looks amazing :)

[@RockinRobinCooks]

LAURA MARTINEZ Thank you Laura! I do hope you try it!!

[@janamiles597]

I add a few peas to the mix. And I like larger pieces of celery for crunch and taste. Don't think I have ever used onion in this one.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Sounds good Jana!

[@chacaloso361]

Love your fine dice technique. Question, I am allergic to shrimp/shellfish. Could tuna work or some chicken?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

I haven't tried it with tuna or chicken or anything other than shrimp so I don't know for sure. The shrimp does make it special. I don't see why you couldn't try tuna or chicken. Let me know how it turns out if you decide to make it. I'm curious.

[@love2learnmitchell329]

@@RockinRobinCooks : I make it with both shrimp and tuna! :)

[@LateNightScraping]

That looks so delicious Robin can you please adopt me Lol you seem like a pretty cool person to hang out with. unfortunately I'm the only one in my family who likes mayonnaise so that seems like a lot for me to eat. Please tell your dad I said thank you for sharing his delicious shrimp pasta salad recipe. I hope you have a nice time at your family reunion. Evie

+LateNightScrappingwithEvie Hi Evie, you know you can cut that recipe in half or even quarters if you wanted to make it just for you. Thanks for your very nice and funny comments! I really appreciate them!

[@GeorginaDemers-lo1pm]

I add shredded carrots and black olives and a little olive oil so it will stay creamy.

[@sagansrun2932]

I like to add frozen peas. Boil them till done 10 minutes. Drain rinse cold water. And chopped pimento.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Sounds great!

would this recipe be just a good with light mayo or something like a yogurt mix x

hi dear Robin, do you use uncook shrimp? or can i use raw shrimp? thanks

[@RockinRobinCooks]

The shrimp in this video is cooked. If you decide to use raw shrimp, then you must cook it first, then cool it completely before adding it to your macaroni salad.

Horizontal cuts are absolutely unnecessary on onions. You wont add much to the already existing layers of the onion.

[@cwhitley5007]

Seems like it would be bland

[@RockinRobinCooks]

If you make this salad just as I show it won't be bland. The minced onion and celery give it so much flavor. The shrimp takes it to a whole new level. Try it yourself and see. Then let me know.
