  • If you plan to eat it, I might have some suggestions. As a disclaimer, I am not a chef. Just somebody who watches a lot of cooking shows and tries to make new recipes often.

    • The marshmallows are likely there to balance the sharpness of the cheddar. I would either omit them entirely or use a sweeter cheese, like a honey goat cheese.
    • The recipe may be missing the smokiness of the bacon if you use shrimp (despite shrimp and pineapple being a better pairing). If you want shrimp in it, I’d recommend using it in addition to the bacon instead of as a substitute.
    • The quality of mayonnaise definitely matters. I would look for a smaller thing of Duke’s if you’re near the southeastern US, or Hellman’s otherwise.

    To answer your questions, I’d definitely try a bite (despite it being an abomination) if for no other reason than I put the effort into it to make. If it is anything like coleslaw, it will be better after it sets in the fridge for a half hour or so.

    I personally cannot comment on the Midwestern part. I can’t imagine they use a ton of shrimp, being landlocked and all, but even in a coastal state I get it frozen so 🤷‍♂️
