Shrimp Pasta Salad Recipe

Shrimp pasta salad has been a family favorite my whole life.  My mommy has been making it homemade as long as I can remember and now I make it for my little shrimp lovers, too!

Recipe for Shrimp Pasta Salad

Recipe for easy Shrimp Pasta Salad

  • 12 oz. Shell or Rotini Pasta
  • 1 cup frozen small Shrimp (or 2 5 oz. cans)
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup Sweet Relish
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  1. Cook pasta until al dente and drain. If using frozen shrimp, add in when draining hot pasta.
  2. Let pasta cool.
  3. Mix together all ingredients.
  4. Chill before serving.

This can be made a day ahead but you may need to add additional mayonnaise the next day for creaminess as the pasta sometimes continues sucking up the liquid as it cools.
