Trying to feed a group of rather talkative women inspired life member Dorothy Bush Turner to come up with this seafood salad. “I was to attend a meeting of about 50 women quilters at a potluck supper,” she explains. “I wanted to prepare something cold because we talk so long that hot things get too cool.” She wasn’t inspired by the recipes she found, so she created her own. “I live in shrimping country on an island, and seafood is always appropriate and welcome,” Dorothy says. “I made a big pot of this dish, and not one piece was left.”
