    YUM! Thank you for posting this “lost” recipe! I first tasted this Shrimp ‘n Rice Salad when babysitting in the early 1980s. The mom told me there was food in the fridge for my dinner, and this salad was the treasure she left for me! It is SO delicious, and I’m not a big shrimp eater, but it was so gooood. She used thinly sliced green onions in lieu of the minced onion. And she subbed in drained and rinsed canned whole baby shrimp as we lived nowhere near fresh seafood.

    Thank you for posting this blast from my past. I’m definitely making this recipe this week to enjoy!
