Helpful Tips to make Bacon Shrimp Pasta Salad:
- As a shortcut I use frozen shrimp that is already peeled, deveined and cooked. If you are using raw shrimp, just boil until shrimp turn pink and are a loose ‘C’ shape.
- Add in extra veggies to bulk up this pasta salad even more. Fresh peas, tomatoes, spinach, zucchini, cucumbers or broccoli would all be great additions.
- Use your preferred pasta. I like the large bow tie pasta for this salad because they are similar in size to the shrimp. But, most any pasta will work just as well.
- I prefer to cook bacon in the oven. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick. Lay bacon flat on pan. Bake at 375ºF for approximately 15-20 minutes.
What you will need to make Bacon Shrimp Pasta Salad:
- Large Colander- You will need this to drain the pasta and shrimp.
- Sharp Knife- This recipe requires some chopping. A good, sharp knife is always handy to have in the kitchen.
- Measuring Cup- You want to get the dressing measured and mixed up completely before adding into the pasta salad.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
