Ingredients:

Serving

16 oz orzo pasta or 16 oz rosamarina pasta
1 (10 oz) bag frozen asparagus, thawed and drained (or use an equal amount of fresh, sliced and steamed until crisp but tender)
12 oz cooked cleaned shrimp (cut in thirds, if large)
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
3 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup chopped sweet pickles
2 cups miracle whip light (don'tsp substitute)
1/2 cup freshly grated romano cheese
1/2 lemon , juice of

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Rinse with cold water and drain.
Mix Miracle Whip, lemon juice, tarragon, pickles, and cheese in a large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix very well.
Cover and chill well before serving.
Garnish with quartered cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with additional grated romano cheese.
NOTES: This is also good using chicken instead of shrimp, and broccoli or pea pods instead of asparagus (cheaper, too!).
The amounts for the Miracle Whip, onions, celery, carrots, and tarragon can be adjusted.
The amounts given suit my taste.
When I make this the day before serving, I always add additional Miracle Whip before garnishing and serving.
Cooking time is chill time.
This actually serves between 4-10, depending on whether it's a side dish or main dish and how much other food is being served.
