Super Shrimp and Veggie Pasta Salad

This is an adaptation of my Mom's recipe. A very colorful salad that's great any time of the year. I've also substituted frozen shrimp for canned on occasion, depending on availability.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine pasta, green pepper, red pepper, onion, celery, olives and shrimp. In a separate bowl mix together: salad dressing, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper; pour over salad. Can be served immediately, but best when chilled a few hours.
