CURRIED SHRIMP AND MACARONI SALAD

A cold pasta dish

This salad is quick and easy. It's best if made several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor. It's been a real hit at potlucks.

Ingredients

(serves 4 to 6)

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp curry powder (or to taste)
1 lb small shrimp (cleaned, deveined, and cooked)
2 cups honeydew balls
1/2 cup slivered water chestnuts, drained.
1 1/3 cups small sea shell pasta, cooked. (measure before cooking)

Procedure

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise.
Put the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Dress with the curried mayonnaise.
Chill 1-2 hours.

Notes

A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a "balling spoon" or "melon baller." 1 1/3 cups of pasta will make three cups of cooked macaroni.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 25 minutes (includes time to cook macaroni and make melon balls.)
Precision: no need to measure.
