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 , 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®
  • ½ lime , juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt , or to taste
  • 2 stalks celery , diced
  • ½ onion , diced
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 , 6 ounce

Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Gently fold in shrimp in the last fold before serving.
