Very light flavor and low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. I usually serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.

So I made this hot instead of cold, for dinner, by cooking the shrimp in the dressing in a pan, and it was the best allrecipes meal that I made all week! We loved it and will def make again. Read More

Never will I waste $10 on this simply awful recipe. Sour, peppery. shrimp way over salted. Absolutely boring. So sorry I spent so much money on the ingredients. Better off just boiling the shrimp. Making a pasta with mayo, greek dressing, fresh dill. capers, grape tomatoes and crunchy celery. Better than this travesty of a dressing. Ghastly. Read More

8.9.16 This is a really nice summer meal. I did use lemon bow tie pasta and I didn't add fhe shredded cheddar cheese garnish just couldn't see cheddar on a nice shrimp salad like this (personal taste preference). Read More

Perfect served either hot or cold. Farfalle (bow ties) is the perfect pasta for this meal. Serve it with a side salad and its a delicious attractive dish to serve for company! Read More

Very nice light tasting pasta salad! I made a few tweaks though. Instead of chicken broth I used mayo. And instead of cheddar cheese I added feta cheese. Topped it off with fresh dill because it pairs so nicely with lemon. Yum! Read More

Easy and tasty I was inspired to substitute by boiling the shrimp shells as a substitute for the chicken broth (thinking clam juice next time) sub d Romano for the Cheddar and I m waiting to see what fresh basil will do. Easy and fun to experiment with. Read More
