Salad Shrimp Pasta Salad

Salad shrimp is often smaller than most shrimps you see, which makes them perfect for any salads, especially pasta salads!

Ingredients:

·         Pasta of your choosing

·         Salad shrimp

·         Mayo and 2 tablespoons of sour cream for the dressing

·         1 tablespoon vinegar

·         Veggies of your choosing (usually celery and red bell peppers work great!)

·         Spices of your choosing

Directions:

1. Cook the macaroni until al dente (cooked, but still firm when you bite into it). Don’t over-cook or the pasta will be mushy! Drain and rinse under cool water (to stop the cooking process and to keep the noodles from absorbing all of the sauce in the fridge, which could make your pasta salad dry!) and transfer to a large bowl.

2. Chop your veggies and add them to the bowl with your macaroni along with cooked shrimp.

3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl. Taste test and add more salt and pepper as needed, but remember that the flavors won’t fully develop until the salad has had time to sit in the fridge.

4. Combine the dressing and all other ingredients, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Make sure to give it a stir before you dig in!
