Pasta Salad With Baby Shrimp

DeeVaFoodie's Note:

A throw together recipe I do when I want to go a step beyond plain macaroni salad.

• Total Time: 32 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1/2 lb rotini noodles
• 1/2 lb bow tie pasta
• 1 (4 ounce) can baby shrimp
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup diced green pepper
• 4 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
• salt
• black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (give or take)

Directions:

1. Boil noodles together according to package directions. Drain and run under cold water till cooled. Drain well.
2. In large bowl combine onion, green pepper, salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard.
3. Add mayo and stir through.
4. Add noodles and shrimp and thoroughly combine.
5. Chill until ready to serve.
6. Note: I'm guessing on serving sizes cause we eat this sometimes as a meal, not just as a side.

This is great! I love it, and I also used fresh shrimp, since that's what I had on hand. I threw in a couple of peas from the garden ~ but it's not needed. It is great just the way it is written. Made for I Recommend, 2011

I doubled this recipe so that I'd have enough as leftovers after including it on my buffet this evening for a small group I'm hosting! Although I pretty much followed the recipe, I did include 3/4 pound of fresh shrimp (do love those little buggers)! Absolutely great tasting & yes, this would be a nice meal by itself! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement tag]
