    Why do you need to chill it? Seems weird. I’m eating it right away!

    Nice recipe, but where’s the seasoning? I think it needs more than just salt and pepper.

    I tried making this but it came out kinda soggy. Did I overdo the mayo? Not sure if I’ll try again.

    I don’t like dill, so I used parsley instead. Came out really tasty, just a tip!

      But shrimp is yummier! Chicken gets dry sometimes, ya know?

      You can always swap the shrimp for chicken if you want! Just cook it the same way. It’s not the end of the world. 😅
