I grew up on this stuff! It is delicious. I always thought it was Mommom's recipe, but when I was talking to her about it, I found out that her mother actually was the one who made it, then Mommom brought it down South Jersey where I grew up. Yum! If you're feeding a crowd, just double the recipe!

How To Make great-grandmom kratz macaroni shrimp salad

Step 1

Boil the pasta according to package directions, adding salt to the water in the pot. Drain. Add to a large bowl.

Step 2

Open both cans of shrimp. Take 1/2 of a can and mash the shrimp to release more flavor. Then add ALL shrimp to the pasta.
Step 3

Add the onion, celery, pepper & enough mayonnaise to get a nice creamy coating on the pasta. Then add a little extra. (Some of the mayo will be absorbed into the pasta and you don't want it to be too dry)
Step 4

Cover & refrigerate, preferrable overnight to let the flavors blend.
