Ingredients

1
1/2 pounds of fresh/peeled shrimp
2/3
to 1 box of shell-shaped (medium sized) pasta
2
teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2
stalks celery, chopped
1/4
cup onion, chopped
2
to 3 eggs, hard boiled - sliced
4
Tablespoons mayonnaise, Light Hellman's was recommended
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Boil the Shrimp for 3-5 minutes or until pink throughout, drain and set aside. Then boil the pasta according to direction on package and drain.

In a large bowl, combine the following: cooked pasta, Old Bay seasoning, celery, onion, mayonnaise- start mixing together, then add the eggs (sliced), continue mixing. Then add the shrimp.

Continue mixing, adding the salt, pepper, and more Old Bay for that added seafood taste and mayonnaise to the point that the shells/shrimp are covered with the ingredients but not ‘swimming in it’.

Place in refrigerator. Good for several days and gets better with each day. If the Old Bay used is fresh, be careful since its flavor is stronger.
