How To Make shrimp and pasta salad

  • Step 1
    Boil elbow macaroni to box directions for al dente pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop pasta from overcooking.
  • Step 2
    Finely dice celery, green onions including tails, and bell pepper. Drain black olives and quarter them.
  • Step 3
    Chop shrimp.
  • Step 4
    Place all ingredients chopped thus far into a large bowl along with cooked pasta. Add lemon zest and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Toss with mayonnaise. I use Hellmann's as my family prefers this brand, but you use whatever brand you prefer. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Served chilled. This salad can be used as a side or served alone as a main course on a bed of crisp greens.
