Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
12 uncooked medium shrimp
1 cup ditalini pasta
¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup frozen peas, thawed and drained

2 tablespoons diced red onion
½ tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • Peel and devein shrimp. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream, peas, celery, red onion, lemon juice, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
