I don’t think anyone should eat what you’re describing. If you’re going to make it though, we want a video of you eating it and reviewing the taste.

You might consider adding cottage cheese. Definitely no on the marshmallows, i agree.
Good Idea! I think 50/50 cottage cheese and better quality mayo will improve the dish. Unfortunatly I've already picked the cheapest mayo of my store, for a more authentic reproduction or Miracle Whip. But if the salad taste ok. I'm going to improve it next time with cottage cheese.
Pineapple plus shrimp sounds horrible. Like three hours later finding yourself head first in the toilet horrible. I suggest you go all out and put the whole thing in aspic.
Don't worry. I'm planning to taste the association of food before making a giant bowl of this salad. Also, I'm not going to make a bowl of this salad but just a bit to try it out and have a fun culinary (not tasting but culinary) experience.
And if shrimp/pineapple is gross, at least I'm on the right community.
But you think I should eat this or simply post back a picture of it in the sub?
Should let it sit in the sauce (pinneapple juice + mayo) for a bit or eat it right away?
Post a pic, and for the second, can you set part of it aside to let it sit so you could compare and note the Ick or Yum levels?
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 🤷♂️
My cheddar isn't strong. I could only find some slides for sandwich with a mild taste. I'm not going to use meat in the recipe some the shrimp will have to do the trick. I could add some smocked pakrika (probably a bad idea).
Smoked paprika is a fantastic idea, especially if you use it as part of a dry rub for the shrimp (assuming you are cooking them). If not, it'll still go great in the ~~potentially gross~~ pineapple mayo dressing. And if you're using mild cheddar you may be able to do without a marshmallow substitute entirely.
Ok, so I'll test first a bit of dressing on the side. For the paprika, I'm still hesitant. I'll see when I'll start cooking.
Have you given this a try yet? I'm interested to know how it turned out, if so.
Yes, I did. And it didn't taste bad. I could improve the recipe though. I was surprised by how the cheddar taste took over the salad : it was mostly tasting smoked cheddar in fat. And I felt more sweet could have balanced that! The texture mix was good.
I will probably try this again one day but with better quality mayo mixed with cottage cheese. It is also worth to try try a version with pinneapple in sirop to see if it bring that missing sweetness (marshmallow don't sound so crazy to me now)
I've taken pictures to do a publication but I always forget to post it.
