Shrimp & Pasta Shells Salad – And They (incorrectly) Called It Macaroni

Shrimp & Pasta Shells Salad Miela Tahril

Shrimp & Pasta Shells Salad - I really wanted to call this a "macaroni salad," since that’s what people sitting around picnic tables call it, but I decided to be technically correct (for once) and call it a shrimp and pasta shells salad. Hey, I'm no slave to Google's algorithm.

Macaroni is a specific type of elbow-shaped pasta, so while all macaroni is pasta, not all pasta is macaroni. Raise your hand if you missed that one on your SAT. Anyway, now that I have enough “macaroni’s” in here for the search engines, we can move on.

Actually, there’s not a lot left to discuss. This is a very straightforward, and quite adaptable recipe. I list a few potential additions in the video, but this is the kind of thing you can really make your own. Hey, you could even do it with macaroni. I hope you give this easy, and crowd-pleasing summer salad a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 8 portions:

For the dressing:

1 1/4 cups mayonnaise

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp ketchup

1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 lemon, juiced

1 tsp salt, or to taste

cayenne to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

The rest:

12-oz package pasta shells

1 pound bay shrimp, or other small cooked shrimp, drained well

1/2 cup small diced red bell pepper

3/4 cup diced celery

salt and pepper to taste
