Potato salad with shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes

Jump to Recipe

For this potato salad I was using jung/spring potatoes but you can make this with potatoes all year around.

There is not much mayo in the sauce so this potato salad with shrimp has a light taste and is still very creamy.

Combination of flavours and textures in this potato salad with shrimp and fennel is so interesting! Onion and fennel give crunchy texture and bright flavours. Sun-dried tomatoes are essential! They add deep sweet tomato flavour. Also, soft texture which goes well with fluffy potatoes and crunchy fennel and onion. And they add a nice pop of colour too.

You can serve this potato salad with shrimp and sundried tomatoes as an appetizer or as a main course. As is or you can add some boiled eggs and a green leaf salad on a side. Arugula is always my choice.

Instead of shrimp you can add some boiled or fried chicken to this creamy potato salad. Or you can just skip the meat and have it as a vegetarian potato salad instead.
