2 cups dry small shell pasta
Directions:
Cook pasta shells according to package, drain. Mix all ingredients except pasta. Fold the pasta into mixture to coat evenly.
Enjoy. This is a classic way to make shrimp salad. I used a Barilla piccolini pasta instead of a small shell just because I like the shape. I minced the onion, celery and the shrimp in my mini chopper, I like the pieces very tiny.
If you don’t want to use a pasta you can eliminate that part of this recipe and serve the shrimp salad on a bed of lettuce, on a croissant, in a fresh tomato.
Sprinkle with dill or garnish with parsley.

I wanted to share some information on the seasoning I chose to use.
There are two things you need to know about OLD BAY® Seasoning: (1) it's great on seafood and (2) it's great on everything else. For 70 years it's ruled the spice rack as The Definitive Seafood Spice, with a world-famous blend of 12 herbs and spices.
In Chesapeake Bay, it's on every dining room table, nestled between the salt and pepper shakers. But it's more than that. It's a time-honored tradition.
I have included the list of ingredients of this seasoning:
CELERY SALT (SALT, CELERY SEED), SPICES (INCLUDING MUSTARD, RED PEPPER, BLACK PEPPER, BAY [LAUREL] LEAVES, CLOVES, ALLSPICE [PIMENTO], GINGER, MACE, CARDAMOM, CINNAMON) AND PAPRIKA.
