My MIL made a shrimp and macaroni salad that people seem to love even if they don't eat shrimp. It's super simple,
salad macaroni cooked to package directions and cooled
2 can of canned shrimp (we tried fresh bay shrimp and it wasn't right)
1 c. of chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped radishes
1 c. chopped kosher dill pickles
1 c. chopped green onions
add mayonnaise to taste
garlic salt and pepper to taste (my family likes a lot of it)
Once it is all made and put into a serving bowl, top with sliced hard boiled eggs and then dust with paprika.
It's a staple for my husband's family gatherings - I made it for my side years ago and now they want it when we all get together. I have made it with the small shells and that is okay but it does not translate well using the larger pastas.
