I got this recipe from a friend at work. I've made it for my family and work potlucks, it's always a great hit. Boiling both the noodles and shrimp in crab boil really gives it a PUNCH!

How To Make vermicelli by the sea

Step 1

Cook vermicelli, al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Note: (I like to boil the shrimp in crab boil first, scoop them out, then boil the noodles in the same water)

Step 2

Prepare Good Seasons dressing according to package directions, using olive oil and vinegar as specified on package. Combine with mayo Mix well. Set dressing aside.
Step 3

Place vermicelli, shrimp, celery, green onions, olives, capers, pimento and parsley in large bowl. Pour dressing over all and mix together. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 4

If desired, garnish with fresh parsley cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, pickled okra or fresh asparagus. Looks great in a footed trifle bowl.
