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.
