Macaroni And Shrimp Salad Recipe


Macaroni And Shrimp Salad Recipe
I created this based on what my parents and I like in a salad. I think this salad is much better if it sits overnight. My grandmother always added pickle juice to her potato or macaroni salads and it is something I now do myself.

Yummo! to channel RR. This sounds soooo good to me.


Mmm, I'll try this without the eggs (can't stand them) but it looks awesome!
