My kids were afraid of shrimp.

Weird huh?

They’ve eaten lobster.

They love salmon.

Why are they not feeling the shrimp love?

I decided to try it in a pasta salad.

Voila!

It’s a Miracle…

With the help of a little Miracle Whip that is.

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 box fun shaped pasta

1 bag frozen shrimp (you could use fresh, but who can afford that these days?)

2 T extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, chopped

chopped parsley

1 bag frozen steamable veggies

1 cup miracle whip

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 shallot chopped

1 clove garlic chopped

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 T minced sun dried tomato

S&P

WHAT TO DO:

Heat a large pot of water for your pasta.  Cook to al dente according to package directions.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.  Pour in your olive oil and garlic.  Let the garlic heat up and flavor the oil.  Add in your frozen shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink.  Sprinkle with parsley and set aside.

Meanwhile in a medium sized bowl add your Miracle Whip, buttermilk, red wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, and sun dried tomato.  Stir to combine and set aside for the flavors to marry a bit.

Steam your veggies in the microwave according the package directions.

When the pasta is ready, drain well and return it to the pot.  Toss in your shrimp and veggies and toss to combine.  Pour your dressing over the top and toss again.

Voila!

So delicious the kids gobbled it up.

And so easy!

FYI – The powers that be at Miracle Whip have in no way compensated me for this post.  Miracle Whip just really makes this pasta salad sing!
