Crunchy Cold Shrimp Salad

This is a homemade recipe that I made after trying to duplicate it from a restaurant I visited. I didn't see a recipe similar to it on Allrecipes so I had to submit it. Hope you all enjoy this cold, light, and refreshing shrimp salad as much as I do! Serve over a bed of butter lettuce or romaine lettuce.

Ingredients

• ½ lemon, juiced
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
• 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or more to taste
• ⅓ (16 ounce) package seashell pasta
• 1 pound cooked shrimp, chilled
• 4 stalks celery, diced, or more to taste
• 4 scallions, diced, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool to room temperature, at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Mix the cooled pasta, shrimp, salad dressing, celery, lemon, scallions, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper together. Chill until ice-cold, at least 1 hour.
