This is a quick and easy dish to make. It is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Bon Appetit Magazine's "Too Busy To Cook" section in 1981. They published two hardbound books with recipes from "Too Busy To Cook." One in 1981 and the second volume in 1988. I added water chesnuts; increased the amount cashews and mayonnaise, doubled the curry powder and used jumbo shrimp rather than bay shrimp. It makes a nice side dish for a picnic/BBQ or an easy dish to take to a pot luck. If you're not a fan of shrimp; crab or cooked chicken breast would work as well. If you really want to bump it up lobster would be over the top.
