![]() We love serving this shrimp salad over some romaine or butter lettuce for a refreshing summer salad, inside lettuce wraps for a quick lunch, or between slices of toasted bread for a dinner-worthy main. The result is a light, refreshing dressing that ties our whole salad together without overpowering it. We brighten things up by including the juice and zest of a lemon, and add a bit of complexity with some dijon mustard. Our mayo-based dressing masters the balance between being creamy without being gloopy. We suggest looking for peeled and deveined shrimp to make your life that much easier! While we always prefer to buy fresh, if you don’t live in an area that has access to fresh seafood, frozen is usually your best bet. Trust us-it’s worth spending a little extra for quality shrimp in this salad. Since shrimp is the focus of this recipe, you really want to focus on the quality. Read on for everything you need to know to perfect this warm-weather favorite: We gave the classic salad an upgrade with red onion, celery, fresh dill, and a lighter mayo dressing (no gloopiness here) with Dijon and lemon zest for zing. Please note, that if making some of these changes, the final taste and texture of the shrimp salad will be different depending on how far you veer from the original recipe and the items you use.A nostalgic dish from the 80s, shrimp salad is a perfectly classic summer dish that’s a consistent favorite. Use any variety of pasta that you prefer gluten-free, chickpea, etc. Use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for some added protein. Use a reduced-fat lite mayo, olive oil mayo, avocado oil mayo. Can I Lighten This Salad Up? : Yes you can.Add a splash of hot sauce to the dressing for a little kick. Dried dill weed can easily be used in place of fresh dill weed (reduce to 1 teaspoon dried dill). Rotini noodles, medium shells or penne are all great choices if you want to mix it up. Can I Make Substitutions? : Feel free to use any similar shaped and sized pasta as the elbow macaroni.Give it a good stir it will be good to go. You may want to remoisten leftovers by adding additional mayo or a splash of milk. How To Store Leftovers : This shrimp pasta salad can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days.It also makes the pasta chilled/colder so you don’t end up with a warm pasta salad. This will stop the pasta from cooking further, but it also washed off all the extra starch and helps the creamy dressing adhere to the macaroni noodles. ![]()
