We constantly have company in the summer, so I'm always trying to come up with something new. I also love a lot of herbs and spices so if you find this recipe to intense, just adjust the amounts. Ingredients:
1 lb gemelli pasta, cooked |
2 (4 ounce) cans baby shrimp, drained or 2 cups frozen baby shrimp |
8 -10 chopped fresh basil leaves |
15 cherry tomatoes, sliced in 1/2 |
1/2 chopped red onion |
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise |
1 diced red bell pepper |
1 (6 ounce) can olives, drained and sliced |
1 cup frozen peas |
4 ounces mild cheddar cheese or 4 ounces havarti cheese, sliced and chopped |
1 ounce ranch dressing mix |
2/3 ounce italian salad dressing mix |
Directions:
1. Mix mayo with 2 dressing packets.
2. Fold in all other ingredients one at a time leaving the shrimp for last.
3. Add salt and pepper if needed.
4. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
