German Shrimp Pasta Salad image

This is a favorite recipe handed down from my Oma, who used to make this for the deli. She used elbow macaroni. I have altered her methods to decrease prep time without sacrificing flavor.

Time 8h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ cup olive oil mayonnaise (such as Hellman's®), or more as needed
½ lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 stalks celery, diced
½ onion, diced
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 (6 ounce) cans small shrimp, drained

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine vinegar, sugar, dill, and parsley in a large bowl. Muddle the herbs with flat spatula and mix until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in mayonnaise, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt until creamy. Stir in celery and onion. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Rinse pasta under cold water. Fold pasta into the dressing until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate, folding salad occasionally so that dressing is evenly absorbed, 8 hours to overnight. Add more mayonnaise if pasta looks dry.
  • Gently fold in shrimp in the last fold before serving.

This recipe was easy to follow and the salad turned out great! I used a different type of pasta (fusilli) and it worked just as well.

This German shrimp pasta salad is a delightful dish that combines the flavors of shrimp, pasta, and a creamy dressing. I especially enjoyed the addition of the red onion, which added a nice crunch and sharpness to the salad.
