No More Tuna Mac For Me… Shrimp Pasta Salad It Is!

I made this at home the following weekend for our end-of-the season BBQ. I doubled the recipe because we were going to be having a pretty big group over, and I wanted to be sure there was enough to go around. Secretly I was hoping that we got some leftovers so I could have it the following day and maybe even the day after. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. This was one of the first bowls that was completely emptied out. I have perfected this recipe to my liking now, and we have it for a side or a main entree all year long.

Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Seasoned Mom:

“I tried this today and it is killer!”

I think we could eat this at least once a week at my house… it’s really is killer!

 

Ingredients

1 lb. small shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cooked (I buy the frozen, pre-cooked version for quick preparation)

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 cups diced celery

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Heinz white vinegar

1 teaspoon Domino sugar

2 tablespoons fresh minced dill

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

In a large bowl, combine shrimp, pasta, green onion, bell pepper, celery, and peas.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper.

Pour dressing over pasta mixture and toss until completely coated.
