I really wanted to call this a “macaroni salad,” since that’s
what people sitting around picnic tables call it, but I decided to be
technically correct (for once) and call it a shrimp and pasta shells salad. Hey, I’m no slave to Google’s algorithm.
Macaroni is a specific type of elbow-shaped pasta, so while
all macaroni is pasta, not all pasta is macaroni. Raise your hand if you missed
that one on your SAT. Anyway, now that I have enough “macaroni’s” in here for the
search engines, we can move on.
Actually, there’s not a lot left to discuss. This is a very straightforward, and quite adaptable recipe. I list a few potential additions in
the video, but this is the kind of thing you can really make your own. Hey, you could even do it with macaroni. I hope
you give this easy, and crowd-pleasing summer salad a try soon. Enjoy!
