Shrimp Pasta Salad


It's funny how the simplest dishes are often the most enjoyable.  As a child, I was always so excited to come home and find a big bowl of this shrimp pasta salad chilling in the refrigerator.  A couple decades later, it's my husband's number one most requested meal.

I'm not complaining.  :-)

From Mom
Serves 4

2 cups small pasta of your choice

  2. Sounds simple yet delicious! I rarely make pasta salad, not sure why, but now that the warm weather is coming around (here in DC) a cool pasta salad sounds perfect.
