This recipe takes time but is relatively easy to make - especially if you have a food processor: Start by cooking the macaroni and eggs in plenty of water. While I dice the peppers by hand to give them a great eye appeal, I put the green onions, medium onion and celery through a course disk of a food processor to get the vegetables done. Read more Toss this into a BIG mixing bowl but do not clean out the food processor yet. The pasta and eggs should be done so you can cool them down with water. Putting a sharp blade in the procssor, add everything else but the shrimp and eggs. Process for 30 seconds. Peel and slice the eggs with an egg slicer and add to mixing bowl. Dump in the cooled macaroni and add the liquid from the processor. Next take 2 large mixing spoons and mix by digging down to the bottom with the spoons and pulling the salad up, turning over and mixing thoroughly. Pack into 4 large quart containers and put in the fridge overnight or at least several hours. Dump into serving bowl, and decorate with shrimp. Sprinkle with paprika and/or Old Bay Seasoning. Enjoy.
