Mama Pajama Shrimp Pasta Salad

For a fancy cold dinner plate, we have a shrimp pasta salad served in soft tortilla bowls. Along with some hard cooked eggs, a few stalks celery filled with peanut butter and a desert of pear halves with a scoop of cream cheese mixed with pineapple!

Another seafood plate that works for a fancy brunch you don't have to over pay for! Shrimp, pasta shells, tomatoes, green onions all go together for a yummy plate.

Ingredients

1 lb medium pasta shells

1 pound package frozen cooked shrimp, peeled and tails gone

2 Roma tomatoes chopped

3 or 4 green onions sliced thin about two inches into the green

soft tortilla bowls

Dressing:

1 tub (5oz) Plain, non fat yogurt (not Greek style)

½ cup fat free mayonnaise

1 tsp Old Bay seasonings

1 tsp celery salt

1 TBS yellow mustard

1 Tbs Garlic Butter Dressing (or ranch, onion if you prefer)

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Place frozen shrimp in a colander and run cold water over it to thaw. This should take 5 – 10 minutes. 

Place the bacon strips on paper towels on a microwave safe plate and cook on high about 1:45sec. If needed, cook another 35 sec until the bacon is done but not hard

Cut up the tomatoes and the green onions.

In a very large bowl, mix the tomatoes and green onions.

When the pasta is done, drain and dump the shrimp into the pasta. This should finish thawing out the shrimp as well as cooling off the pasta! Stir this into the bowl with tomatoes & onions.

In a small bowl, spoon in the yogurt. Then fill the yogurt container with low fat mayo and mix in the bowl. Measure in the Old Bay, celery salt, yellow mustard, and salad dressing. Mix well.

Pour half of the dressing over the pasta and shrimp. Stir to combine. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving. Just before serving, mix in the other half of the dressing mixture. If you wish, you could stir in some frozen peas for a touch more green, but it is not necessary.

Here we spooned this into the soft tortilla bowls so that it overflows and looks decedent!

A couple of hard cooked egg halves and some peanut butter filled celery stalks adds a nice crunch.
