CRUNCHY COLD SHRIMP SALAD

Crunchy Cold Shrimp Salad image

This is a homemade recipe that I made after trying to duplicate it from a restaurant I visited. I didn't see a recipe similar to it on Allrecipes so I had to submit it. Hope you all enjoy this cold, light, and refreshing shrimp salad as much as I do! Serve over a bed of butter lettuce or romaine lettuce.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

⅓ (16 ounce) package seashell pasta
1 pound cooked shrimp, chilled
½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
4 stalks celery, diced, or more to taste
½ lemon, juiced
4 scallions, diced, or more to taste
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or more to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool to room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
Mix the cooled pasta, shrimp, salad dressing, celery, lemon, scallions, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper together. Chill until ice-cold, at least 1 hour.
