ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) box macaroni, cooked
- 12 eggs, hardboiled
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 2 large celery ribs, diced
- 3 cups mayonnaise (we use Miracle Whip)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 (6 ounce) can shrimp, drained
directions
- Cook macaroni, prepare all veggies, and dice the eggs.
- Drain macaroni and run cold water over it to bring it to room temperature.
- Add all ingredients into very large bowl and mix (we use our clean hands for this).
- Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Best when made a day in advance, to let the flavors mingle.
- If using canned shrimp, they will break up and be very fine. This means no one knows there's shrimp in it unless you tell them, so this can be your "secret ingredient". ;).
- Larger shrimp can be used, this is just what mom always made it with.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them!
I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different.
I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time.
