Seafood Pasta Salad

Seafood Pasta Salad

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. . .” Psalm 18:2

Seafood Pasta Salad is a creamy pasta salad filled with shrimp and surimi that would be perfect for your next luncheon or get together.

I love a good pasta salad.  Well, to be honest, I like salad.  I know I’ve said this before, but I really do like salad, and this is a good one.

I serve Seafood Pasta Salad every year for Christmas dinner.  It’s a favorite of the family and it is so easy to prepare. Just a few ingredients and it makes a wonderful compliment to a meal, get together or lunch.

A friend of mine actually gave me this recipe to make for a women’s luncheon and I fell in love.  (probably because it’s a salad  😉  )  I tweaked it a little and made it my own….and voila! 

 Mama Fawn’s Tips

  •  Make sure your pasta is fully cooled before adding the rest of ingredients.  
  • The original recipe called for frozen salad shrimp, that you thawed and drained.  Feel free to use this if you have a hard time getting fresh shrimp.
  • To cook the shrimp:  bake shrimp that has been peeled and deveined at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  
  • The salad tastes best when it is fully chilled.  Make sure you have time to refrigerate the salad before serving.
  • You can find imitation crab in your seafood department.
