SUPER SHRIMP AND VEGGIE PASTA SALAD



Super Shrimp and Veggie Pasta Salad image

This is an adaptation of my Mom's recipe. A very colorful salad that's great any time of the year. A light creamy salad dressing can be substituted to reduce calories. I've also substituted frozen shrimp for canned on occasion, depending on availability.
