PASTA SALAD WITH SHRIMP
A Thousand Island-type dressing adds some zip to this pasta and shrimp salad. My family prefers it to oil-based salad dressings. -Mrs. Herbert Waalkens, Albert Lea, Minnesota

ANOTHER CATALINA PASTA SALAD
The first time I had this salad, I thought it was some sort of a cheese mixed with pasta. The original recipe was made with chili-mac pasta and hardboiled eggs. I now use rotini pasta and never use the eggs just because of their wonderful aroma :) The recipe instructions are based upon making it the night before. To make the same day, empty all the ingredients in together (including all of the Catalina dressing) and chill for at least 2 hours. Cooking time does not included chill time nor does it include cook time for hardboiled eggs.

CATALINA PASTA SALAD
Great for any hamburger supper or pot luck dinner. This is better than any pasta salad I have EVER had as I'm not big on the vinegar based ones. I'm always asked to bring this to family gatherings. This makes a ton, so you may want to cut it down. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!

Steps:
- Boil pasta according to package directions.
- I usually add the baby carrots to the pasta about midway thru cooking.
- Place frozen peas in a large colinder and dump cooked pasta& carrots on top.
- Let drain.
- When carrots have cooled, I slice them in half lengthwise.
- Place pasta, peas& carrots in a large mixing bowl.
- Add miracle whip and catalina dressing until moistened.
- Sorry, I have no measurements as this is how I got the recipe.
- You just have to keep tasting and adding until you find the right taste.
- I like mine with more Catalina than Miracle Whip.
- I like to chill mine at least an hour before serving.
- Prior to serving add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
- After it chills, you may need to add more Catalina and/or Miracle Whip.
- If you make this the day before, don't add your cucumbers and tomatoes-it will make it watery.
- Feel free to change up your vegetables!

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. For the best results, use large, fresh shrimp that have been peeled and deveined.
- Cook the shrimp properly. To prevent the shrimp from becoming tough and rubbery, cook them quickly over high heat.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your salad.
- Don't overdress the salad. A light dressing will help to enhance the flavors of the shrimp and vegetables without overpowering them.
- Serve the salad immediately. Shrimp salad is best enjoyed fresh.
