Shrimp Salad Revisited

Posted Sun, 08/05/12

 

This was the result of my efforts in the kitchen today:

 

Shrimp Salad

 

Shrimp Salad

2 cans (6 oz. each) tiny shrimp, de-veined

2 C cooked elbow macaroni

2 slender stalks of celery, cleaned & sliced small

1 TBS minced sweet onion

1 small can sliced black olives, drained

2 TBS red pimentos

Mayonnaise to taste

Salt & black pepper to taste

Dash of garlic pepper

Parsley for garnish (optional)

 

Cook elbow macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. Drain the shrimp, black olives and pimentos. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, celery slices, minced sweet onion, sliced black olives, pimentos and macaroni. Add seasonings to taste. Blend in mayonnaise to taste. I happen to like very little mayo in my salad, but others may prefer a more generous measurement. Chill and serve as is or on a bed of lettuce.

My version of Shrimp Salad is easy to make, and goes well with just about any main dish. This time around, it was served as a side dish alongside barbequed pulled pork and baked beans.

 

Give it a whirl...
