My mom's shrimp macaroni salad is a bit unusual but has been popular with friends and family for many years. The salad calls for a lot of ingredients but is worth the effort. If possible, use pickle juice instead of the vinegar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 0.75 cups mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cups diced celery
  • 0.25 cups sweet pickle relish
  • 2 ounces cooked salad shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 0.5 teaspoons celery seed
  • 0.25 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • 0.13 teaspoons chili powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 2

    Combine mayonnaise, celery, relish, shrimp, ketchup, vinegar, onion, bell pepper, parsley, horseradish, celery seed, hot pepper sauce, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Fold macaroni into mixture. Cover and chill at least 3 hours before serving.
