Curried Shrimp Macaroni Salaad

Omegachowz's Note:

To me, this recipe ALWAYS represents summer. My mom would make this salad for our family only in the summer months. Everyone who tasted it wanted the recipe. NOTE: Prep time, does not include overnight chilling. The flavors are best when you allow them to chill overnight, but it is not absolutely necessary.
