Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Pasta Salad
- Start by mixing cooked shrimp in a bowl with freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, granulated garlic, and cumin. Toss everything gently to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated shrimp. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and transfer to a plate to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard powder, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and cumin. Whisk everything together until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked macaroni, cooled shrimp, chopped shallots, chopped celery, and parsley. Pour the creamy dressing over this vibrant mixture. Gently fold everything together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes.
