Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. Do you remember your granny making old-fashioned Macaroni Salad? I hope so, but trust me, even if you haven't had that pleasure, you're still gonna want to add this recipe to the family cookbook. We’re gonna use bowtie pasta and canned shrimp for a slightly new twist, but the flavor will take us all right back down memory lane. Ready? Let’s get cooking!

“Bowtie Shrimp Salad”

•Pound of macaroni (I’m using Bowtie Pasta!)
•One can of small shrimp, rinsed and drained
•Half a stalk of celery, chopped
•One bunch of green onions, chopped
•One apple, chopped
•One small jar sweet pickles, chopped
•Teaspoon of sugar
•Two tablespoons mayonnaise

I’ve gotten us started by cooking a pound of bowtie pasta. I've rinsed it in hot water to remove the starch so it won't stick. Now, we'll dice up our green onions, celery, sweet pickles, and this medium apple.

Now, to our pasta, I’m adding a can of small shrimp that I’ve rinsed and drained and our chopped veggies. We'll toss in our sweet pickles and apple pieces and stir all of this together with just enough mayonnaise to bind it together, along with a teaspoon or so of sugar for a sweet taste. Chill it for a couple hours and enjoy! Its good eating, southern style!
