Shrimp Pasta Salad
Description
This Shrimp Pasta Salad brings together sautéed shrimp seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil, cooked briefly to retain tenderness and flavor. The cooked macaroni pasta is combined with sweet peas, corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and quartered boiled eggs, adding layers of texture and freshness. The dressing is a mixture of mayonnaise, basil pesto, and yogurt, offering a creamy consistency with herbal notes. All ingredients are tossed together to evenly coat the components, balancing richness from the mayonnaise and yogurt with brightness from the pesto and vegetables. The salad offers a pleasing contrast between the warm-flavored shrimp and cool pasta salad, making it suitable as a light main dish or side for summer meals.
