Please don’t insert logic here. You’ll crush my heart.
Ok, so I get strange tiny shrimp home. Now what? Um, hmm. I could donate it to the food bank. Or I could make salad with micro mini sized shrimp.
So salad it was. Tasty, salty, bacony, creamy salad. We had it on greens the first day and as a sandwich the next.
Creamy Shrimp & Bacon Salad
Printer Version
This salad makes a nice change from typical brown bag lunch fair. When served as a sandwich, you might find yourself looking forward to lunch at your desk.
Sauce
1 cup mayo
1 tablespoon horseradish
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salad
4 (4 ounce) cans East Point Tiny Shrimp (Found at Costco, but deli shrimp work too.)
3 boiled eggs, diced
5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 a red onion, minced
2 stalks celery, diced small
Salt as needed
1. In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together. Store in the refrigerator while prepping salad ingredients.
2. Toss the salad ingredients and sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. Taste for salt and add to taste if needed. Serve on bread as a sandwich or on top of mixed greens.

Yummo! This is very similar to a dish I had while in England. It was the best thing I ate all week!

Very creative use! This looks so good and may just be the quick lunch I needed for meal planning for out of town guests next week. Thanks for sharing! I'm adding your button to my links page. Have a great night. PS ~ Are you really in Alaska as per your last post?
I feel like I need to run right over to Costco and get some shrimp! They got me with canned turkey... still need to make some sandwiches out of it. :)
Yum, how easy is that to keep handy when you need something quick! Thanks for checking out my blog!
Laura, you are so funny! And I so get it. I do this kind of thing all the time. I scoff at people who blow money on their addictions (cigarettes, gambling, etc) but I don't hesitate to buy something from the supermarket that I don't need and probably won't use. At least you used your tiny shrimps. Thanks for your comment on my blogversary too--you are fast!
Fantastic salad, but you have discovered the very reason I am not allowed to set foot in Cost-Co ever again! GREG
