Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water. Set aside to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine cooked shrimp, pasta, green onion, bell pepper, celery, and peas. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Pour dressing over pasta mixture and gently toss until completely coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make Ahead: For convenience, you can make this shrimp pasta salad the night before you plan to enjoy it. I recommend chilling the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to give the flavors a chance to "come together," but overnight is fine as well. You might need to add a little bit more mayonnaise to the salad the next day if you find that the pasta has absorbed too much of the dressing.
- Store the pasta salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
