This salad was a complete disaster! The dressing was too sour and the shrimp were overcooked.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or omitting the salt altogether.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some chopped red onion and celery to give it more flavor.

This salad is a bit too mayonnaise-y for my taste. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or adding some Greek yogurt to lighten it up.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for fennel. I left it out and the salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over after a shrimp boil, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I was a bit skeptical about the fennel, but it actually worked really well in this salad. It added a nice crunch and a subtle anise flavor.
