- Pour in 1/2 cup of Old Bay seasoning. Cut up some onions and add. Cover with a lid. Place pot on stove top. Cook shrimp until pink (should be about 8 to 10 minutes on medium). When done, peel shrimp cut into two's.
- Now for the salad. Add shrimp to cooled cooked pasta and remaining ingredients. Cool in the fridge.
