Wow. Undoubtedly excellent but not chlodnik.
Chlodnik is one of those dishes that varies from region to region, village to village, kitchen to kitchen, and from cook to cook in the same family. Its ingredients vary depending on availability. The authenticity police have no jurisdiction over what constitutes "cold soup." If Babcia had shrimp at her disposal she would likely have used them.
