1 (1 lb.) box elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can baby shrimp, drained and dry as possible
3 to 4 celery stalks, chopped small
2 to 3 carrots, finely chopped (you can use a blender or chopper)
1 to 2 red/green peppers, chopped
mayonnaise
seasoning to your liking (I use seasoned salt and Mrs. Dash garlic and herb blend)

In a large bowl mix elbows with mayonnaise until covered but slightly dry. Add in drained pineapple and with a fork, break up the shrimp in the can then add to bowl.

Add vegetables, one at a time. The amount of vegetables you need depends on how big each is. Add according to looks and taste.

Add more mayonnaise as needed until the mix is well blended.

Note: We have Grandma's macaroni salad at EVERY family BBQ and summer get together. I miss her every time I make it!
