Ingredients




1 pound pasta
3 grated carrots
1 small Vidalia onion chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
1 cucumber chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 green pepper chopped
1 pound steamed shrimp peeled
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Old Bay Seasoning to taste

Preparation

1 Boil and cook the pasta. 2 Chop the vegetables and peeled shrimp in a large bowl. 3 Mix and pour the dressing over the drained pasta and vegetables and mix well. 4 Season with Old Bay to taste (as a Marylander, I literally *dump* Old Bay on it when I make it... easily 6-10 tablespoons if not more... it also depends on if you have Old Bay on the steamed shrimp already). 5 Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
