Robin's Pesto Tortellini and Shrimp Salad image

My sister frequently makes this for summertime gatherings. There is never a bite left! So cool and fresh! The original recipe calls for Pesto tortellini, but you may use any kind you like. It also calls for fresh snowpea pods, but frozen may be substituted.
