Mommas Pasta And Shrimp Salad Recipes

My mom's unusual salad has been popular with friends and family for many years. This salad calls for a lot of ingredients but is worth the effort. If possible, use pickle juice instead of the vinegar.

This is a recipe that feeds my beenyah soul. It's simple, but when you work from raw ingredients, as we did, it's a project. We had to catch the shrimp, then head, peel (shell) and devein them. Potatoes had to be planted, tended, dug, washed, peeled, cut and boiled. And all the other ingredients had to be bought, grown or collected. The sea and the garden, as well as all we did to harvest from both, come together in what remains one of my favorite dishes. I remember shrimp and tada salad filling my favorite bowl on Momma's Sunday dinner table. And my kids still beg me to fix it for them. Trouble is, I have to beg them to peel the shrimp. I still can't bring myself to buy precooked frozen shrimp, but this recipe will work with them, too.

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.
