Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad

Today I’m bringing you my favorite pasta salad recipe, Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad. I made this last summer for Jack’s first birthday and I absolutely loved it.  It is important to let the finished pasta salad chill for a few hours to let the flavor develop. It really makes a big difference in flavor.

Some reviewers reported that they thought there was too much sauce in this dish, but I thought it was just right. If you have leftovers, the sauce tends to be absorbed even more into the pasta a day after preparing. If this is a worry to you, increase the amount of pasta by just a bit.

Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad
Makes about 8 servings

3 cups spiral shaped pasta, uncooked
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/3 cup seafood cocktail sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 lb medium cooked shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato, making sure to de-seed it
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper (or green, if you prefer the flavor)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool quickly; drain well.

  1. This looks really good but I just hate the taste of peppers. Red, green, yellow, orange, hot, or mild, I can't stand them. Is there any thing I can substitute for peppers in all these wonderful recipes that i would like to try?

  2. That salad sounds delicious and the photo is so tempting! This is a recipe I need to make!
