Summary

Name: Curried Shrimp And Macaroni Salad

Category: Pasta

Ingredients and Directions

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste

1 pound shrimp, small, cleaned, deveined, cooked

2 cup honeydew balls

1/2 cup water chestnuts, slivered, drained

1 1/3 cup conchiglie piccole pasta, cooked (small sea-shell macaroni, measure before cooking)

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise. Put the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Dress with the curried mayonnaise. Chill 1-2 hours. NOTES: A cold pasta dish. This salad is quick and easy. It's best if made several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor. It's been a real hit at potlucks. A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a "balling spoon" or "melon baller." About 1 1/3 cups of conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked macaroni. Yield: serves 4 to 6.
