Summer Seafood Pasta Salad
"Yep! Another seafood salad. This one is from "KCTS Cooks-Favorite Recipes" cookbook. Sent in by Carol out of Seattle. She says this is one of her favorite pasta salads. She has brought this salad to lots of potlucks and it has always been a great hit! I haven't tried it yet so if you do, please let me know how it turns out. :)"

It would be so nice if one could print a recipe without wasting 2 sheets of paper. Who's ego or hidden adgenda is bing served by creating this waste? -
Delicious! Love the lemony flavor. Also loved that it is cold....it has been so hot here it is refreshing to eat something so flavorful and cool. Cut the recipe in half, and it was still enough for 4 or 5! Thanks for sharing....made for FYC tag game. -
Yum. Made pretty much as directed using the angel hair, fat free dressing and light mayo as well and less Parm for today's lunch. Even though only for me (DH no likey shrimp either). I knew perfectly well that I'd have at least a cup per serving. I love this! Very high yum factor that should please the entire family unless you have a member like my DH. :D -
I cut this recipe in half for the 2 of us & had a wonderfully tasty salad ~ A great combo of ingredients, & a salad that I look forward to making again & again as the weather warms up! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag] -
This was fantastic! All the ingredients went together just perfect. Loved the amount of parmesan cheese that was in the salad. Will be serving this to guest soon. Thanks for posting this lovely recipe.

This is very good. I had just 12 oz shrimp so reduced accordingly. I used recipe #63812 (made into dressing) and left out the celery. I also did not have lemon pepper so just left it and the salt out (the dressing had enough). Used medium shell pasta instead of angel hair. Next time I might add some diced bell pepper in place of the celery. This was very tasty for lunch today. Thanks for posting!
