I have been making shrimp or crab Louie salads for 40+ years. I always make my own dressing and find it is what makes this salad so yummy. I usually make them with baby salad shrimp because that is economical and what my family likes best. It makes a great cook main entee salad on warm summer evenings. If you want to use this as side salads, it will serve 8 easily. Enjoy!
