This is a favorite recipe handed down from my Oma, who used to make this for the deli. She used elbow macaroni. I have altered her methods to decrease prep time without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

1 package elbow macaroni , 16 ounce
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
0.5 cups olive oil mayonnaise , such as Hellman's®
0.5 lime , juiced
1 teaspoon salt , or to taste
2 stalks celery , diced
0.5 onion , diced
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cans small shrimp , 6 ounce

Instructions

1

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
2

Combine vinegar, sugar, dill, and parsley in a large bowl. Muddle the herbs with flat spatula and mix until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in mayonnaise, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt until creamy. Stir in celery and onion. Cover and refrigerate.
3

Rinse pasta under cold water. Fold pasta into the dressing until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate, folding salad occasionally so that dressing is evenly absorbed, 8 hours to overnight. Add more mayonnaise if pasta looks dry.
4

Gently fold in shrimp in the last fold before serving.
