Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and chopped
¼ cup lime juice
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked cellentani (corkscrew) pasta
4 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced
1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
1 large red onion, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅓ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until dressing is well mixed.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also added some chopped cucumber and bell pepper to give it a bit more crunch.
