EPIC Shrimp Louis Salad Board
Think Easter, Mother’s Day, a bridal or baby shower, or just a fun, special “spring” way to host! This post is sponsored by Rhodes Bake-N-Serv® .
Friends, I’m so loving the month of April thus far. We were in New York City last week and so enjoyed being with our daughter (who’s graduating college next month!). So much fun, I’ll be sharing all about the trip in a post coming up!
Ingredients needed to make a Shrimp Louie
The Shrimp Louie Salad makes a great stand-alone SPLASH at any party!
The fresh and vibrant Shrimp Louie Salad on an epic board consists of a large bowl of Thousand Island Dressing, surrounded by shrimp, lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, green peppers, red onion, and back olives.
Just the way my Aunt Lillian would always make a shrimp salad for Easter Sunday!
Aunt Lillian taught me that hospitality has nothing to do with a perfect home or gourmet food, but it’s how we make our guests feel welcomed and comfortable in our homes.
Simplicity. Selflessness. Friendliness.

Make the dressing ahead of time and chill. Or, guess what? You can buy store-bought Thousand Island dressing!
Prepare the board by adding the bowl first, then the fresh foods in a circular pattern (so pretty!) Want to make the perfect eggs? Perfect soft boiled eggs are the best!
Right before the guests arrive, heat your dinner rolls.
RHODES BAKE-N-SERV™ WARM-N-SERV™ SOFT YEAST ROLLS
You may remember my Party Ham Rolls Charcuterie Board, or this Tuna Melt Sliders Game Day Board, where I used Rhodes Bake-N-Serv™ Warm-N-Serv™Artisan French Rolls.
Rhodes Bake-N-Serv™ Soft Yeast Rolls come in packages of 6 and 12 rolls per bag.
You literally bake and serve.
They are non-GMO, made with cane sugar, have no preservatives, and are vegetarian. Made In the USA!
There are so many varieties–Bake and Serve, Thaw and Rise, Buy and Store–but today on this epic tuna melts board, we are serving Rhodes Bake-N-Serv™ Warm-N-Serv™ Soft Yeast Rolls.
They taste so good … just the way my Aunt Lillian made hot rolls for Easter or Mother’s Day! :)
What is a Shrimp Louie?
A Shrimp Louie is a traditional salad from California (originated in San Francisco in the 1900’s), made with shrimp, lettuce, egg and tomato.
We love to use spring mix lettuce!
The dressing is similar to Thousand Island dressing, made with mayonnaise, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a few more ingredients. Oh, and don’t forget the hard-cooked eggs, Roma tomatoes, green pepper, black olives, and red onions.
And sliced lemons and parsley for garnish!
How to make Shrimp Louie Salad and Dressing?
To make Shrimp Louie Salad and the dressing from scratch is easy, and won’t take you more than 10 minutes. Make sure you have these ingredients: Mayo, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce!
Don’t forget! It’s okay to buy store-bought Thousand Island! Just as good!
How to serve a Shrimp Louie Salad
Shrimp Louie Salad is a delicious crowd-pleasing lunch salad with shrimp and a creamy, tasty dressing. It’s particularly popular in our home during spring and summer months, and always a MUST-make recipe for Easter!
So, when you are ready to serve, set out this EPIC Shrimp Louis Salad Board.
For Easter, serve ham, potatoes, rolls, a fruit salad, a Best BLT Pasta Salad, and this EPIC Shrimp Louis Salad Board. [This dessert is awesome for spring and Easter!]
Let guests choose the ingredients from the board and make their own salad. And dress their own salad!
The rolls make the board complete.

Another reason why I love this board … think barbecues and summertime hosting. You can always put the shrimp on ice, too.
