I have been making this recipe for almost 50 years. It is the main recipe I use for pot lucks, for neighborhood occasions, or when the kids come. When I fixed it for my husband I had to leave the cauliflower out but everyone else says the cauliflower makes the recipe. I agree with them.

I love this shrimp macaroni salad. I remember my mom making this same recipe for picnics when I was very young. The unexpected crunchiness and great combination of ingredients are what make this salad so delicious and enjoyable. I agree that it should be made well in advance to allow the flavor to saturate the pasta.I used the frozen tiny salad shrimp for eye appeal.
