Shrimp Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 2 ounces cooked salad shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water and adding a moderate amount of salt. Place the container over high heat, allowing it to reach its boiling point.
2
Once the water has reached a rolling boil, introduce the elbow macaroni into the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together, and continue cooking until it has reached a tender yet still slightly firm texture, approximately 8 minutes.
3
After the macaroni has finished cooking, carefully pour off any excess water to prevent it from becoming soggy.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, diced celery, relish, cooked shrimp, ketchup, vinegar, finely chopped onion, sliced bell pepper, parsley, prepared horseradish, celery seed, hot pepper sauce, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
5
Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold the cooked macaroni into the mixture until it is evenly distributed.
6
Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate the macaroni salad for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
7
Once the macaroni salad has chilled, it is ready to be served.
