Simple Shrimp Salad

Lady Of Light

The weather in New Jersey has been rather strange for mid-May - although the flowers and trees are blooming, it is still sweater and jacket weather resembling early fall rather than spring. However, we have had some warm weather also and with more warm weather to come and wanting simple meals-cooler ones too, leaving more time for picnics and walks. I thought I would share a shrimp recipe that is good for home, cookout supplement or picnic.

Shrimp Salad - serves 12

2 pounds cooked and thawed salad shrimp
1 pound Rotini (multi-colored cooked spirals) cooked and
drained
3/4 cup of 2/3 mayonaise, 1/3 shrimp cocktail sauce
8 hard boiled eggs - mashed
Onion powder
Garlic Salt
Parsley flakes
Paprika
(Can also add green peppers, fresh onion, celery and cherry tomatoes, if
desired.)

1. Thaw and rinse shrimp in collander according to directions
2. Cook Rotini according to directions - drain and rinse with cold water
3. Hardboil eggs - peel and mash - add to Rotini - mix
4. Add Shrimp and mix
5. Combine mayo and cocktail sauce and blend into salad
6. Sprinkle garlic and onion and mix
7. Top with parsley and paprika
(Serve on a bed of lettuce, if desired and surround with sweet pickle spears
and peeled cucumber spears and cherry tomatoes.) Makes an attractive plate or
just serve plain.) Keep chilled in refrigerator.

I hope that you will enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

God bless you and have a great day!
