Garlic Chive & Dill Shrimp Pasta Salad

Ingredients:
1  lb freshly steamed, peeled large shrimp, cut in half
2/3 cup chopped garlic chives
1/4 cup diced green onion
8 oz cooked, small pasta (I used regular old macaroni)

for the dressing:
3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2-3 teaspoons minced dill
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
salt
pepper

Directions:
Place the shrimp, chives, onion, and pasta in a large bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.

Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir to coat.

My thoughts:

I made this shrimp and pasta salad a couple of weeks ago as a planned cold lunch for the day after I used shrimp in another dish for dinner to use up not only the shrimp but some green onions and garlic chives. It was really good but I didn't think about posting it until someone who saw it when I made it on Instagram sent me a message asking when I was going to post the recipe. Luckily I had been playing around with my camera that day and happened to have a picture of it.

The recipe is super easy but also very flavorful thanks to bold ingredients like dill and garlic chives. Garlic chives have become much easier to buy over the years, now pretty much any supermarket I go into sells them. I'm glad because they add such a nice garlicy flavor to dishes like this salad that you would not want to add raw garlic too.
