Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
3 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
1/4 large onion, finely chopped
1/2 green, yellow, orange or red bell pepper (i prefer the orange or yellow)
1 lb large shrimp, cooked, drained and chopped
if substituting tuna use 2 cans of solid white tuna, chicken, 2 large cans of chicken breast meat
1 bottle cap full of cider vinegar (if you like a more robust taste, try adding malt vinegar)
2 sprig(s) fresh curly parsley, minced
hellmans mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Mix the cooled elbow macaroni, shrimp, onion, bell pepper and parsley together. Add several large spoonfuls of mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well. You may have to add more mayonnaise as it will be absorbed by the macaroni. Make sure that you add enough as the salad should be moist, but not too creamy. Re-season to taste as needed. Chill until served.
2. Note: You will need to add mayonnaise after this sits in the fridge for a length of time as the mayonnaise gets absorbed by the macaroni. You can also add a little more vinegar if needed.
