Simple Shrimp Salad

YAY! Sunday is here...beautiful, restful and a wonderful time to spend with family around a table of delicious foods, sharing stories and making memories. 


My recipe for Simple Shrimp Salad is as follows: 


Simple Shrimp Salad (always reminds me of my grandmother) 


Buy 1-2 lbs. of the best Shrimp you can find. Clean and rinse in a bowl and set aside until ready to use. Use a beautiful platter and place some pretty lettuce leaves of your choosing, I like to use romaine. Heat some water in large pot and cook your favorite pasta (I use Dreamfields). In another large bowl combine the shrimp with your favorite mayo, salt and pepper to taste, 1 stalk celery (diced), 1/4 sweet onion (diced), you can add 1 c. shredded carrots if you would like. Place shrimp salad over the pasta, decorate with the following: Hard boiled eggs (sliced), Artichoke hearts, Pickles (your favorite), Black Olives, Green Olives, Palm hearts, Cherry Tomatoes, Sprinkle some parsley on top and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve with some hard rolls and enjoy!
