Shrimp Potato Salad





During Mother's Day dinner, my mom reminded me about a family recipe of a refreshing summer shrimp potato salad that she had sitting in her refrigerator. I completely forgot about this dish, and many other family recipes we grew up with because I told myself that I would start new traditions with my family that I could pass down. But I couldn't resist making this dish.

 
It inspired me to recreate this dish from my childhood which is perfect for the summer heat. It has to be eaten really cold!!!

Ingredients:
2 cups cubed potatoes, cooked and cooled 
1 cup shrimps, peeled and deveined, poached and cooled
3 cage-free eggs, hard boiled and chopped
2 Tbsps celery, chopped
2 Tbsps white onion, chopped 
1/2 cup pineapple chunks, drained
2 tsps pickle relish
3 Tbsps Kewpie japanese mayonnaise
Salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together gently, season to your liking and put in the chiller. Serve cold.
