Delicious Cold Shrimp Pasta Salad

In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing: mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it according to the package instructions until it reaches an al dente texture. This usually takes about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it with cold water to halt the cooking process. Drain the pasta well, shaking the colander to remove any excess water.

Step 3: Thaw the Peas

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pasta and frozen peas. The warmth of the pasta will help thaw the peas, so let the mixture sit for a few minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Salad

Now it’s time to bring all the components together! Add the thawed shrimp, chopped celery, diced bell pepper, chopped red onion, and fresh dill to the pasta and pea mixture. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently stir everything until evenly coated.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Once combined, cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to fully blend and enhances the overall taste of the dish. Serve cold, and enjoy!
