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
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.

Peppermint Buttercream Frosting
An easy, mint-flavored frosting. You can substitute 4 to 6 tablespoons creme de menthe syrup for the peppermint extract and milk, if desired.
Instant Pot Sushi Rice
This sushi rice recipe is made in an Instant Pot. This simple method always ensures perfectly cooked grains. I tested four different methods before deciding this was the best. Using the Manual function instead of the Rice setting gives the rice a tender bite and separated grains, yet it's still sticky enough to make compact sushi rolls. This recipe yields enough rice for 3 standard sushi rolls.
Gold Cake
This is a great yellow cake which uses up your leftover egg yolks, especially after making an angel food cake. Ice with white icing, coffee icing or chocolate icing.
