brandalla - did you mean you use a pound and one/half of cooked shrimp?? I like your idea of using the dry Ranch dressing seasoning, but not the full bottle of the wet stuff. Isn't the shrimp virtually swimming again by then?? I also use red onion - has more kick than Vidalia and/or Spanish - and cukes. Rarely use tomatoes in this kind of salad because pasta salad gets better by the day but tomatoes "spoil" faster than the rest of the stuff in a pasta salad. I will probably keep using my favorite pasta: angel hair. The only pasta I really like is the thinnest possible - otherwise, it's toooo much pasta, and I'd rather be chomping down on other stuff!

Mine is much better ! I call it summer shrimp pasta salad- I use a pound half of cooker shrimp-cut in pieces- a red onion (finely minced) and grape tomatoes and cucumbers (cut in bite size pieces) and the secret is....Hidden Valley Salad Dressing , a big bottle and one dry pkg mixed with a bit of mayo and lemon juice and a touch season salt and black pepper and I use shell pasta. You wont believe what a big hit this is !!!(even better if made the day before and add more Hidden Valley salad dressing and stir before serving !)
