Shrimp Pasta Salad

Name: Shrimp Pasta Salad
Ingredients: 1 pound macaroni pasta (small-shaped pasta such as small shells, rotini, wheels, bowtie, etc. are all fine); 8 ounces small cooked shrimp (such as from a bag of frozen shrimp that were previously cooked, now thawed and drained); 1 cup celery (diced small); 1 cup green bell pepper (diced small (or any color bell peppers)); 1 cups peas (I use frozen that I thaw and drain well; or fresh peas are fine); 1/2 cup green onions (sliced into thin rounds (I use both white and green parts)); 1/4 cup fresh dill (finely minced (plus more for garnishing if desired)); 1 cup mayonnaise (read FAQs in post for my thoughts on substitutions); 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice; 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (white vinegar, rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar may be substituted); 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste if desired); 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste if desired)

"???????????? Tender pasta, juicy shrimp, crunchy celery, bell peppers, and peas are tossed in a creamy and tangy homemade dressing for zesty perfection! Great for summer gatherings to serve as a side salad or make it for a lighter yet satisfying stand alone meal for lunch or dinner! Very EASY and always a crowd FAVORITE!..."
