We are getting ready for Memorial Day and pulling out all our favorite barbecue recipes. You can't have a cookout without the accompanying sides. Creamy shells and shrimp salad is a twist on traditional macaroni salad. Sweet petite shrimp are combined with al dente pasta shells and tossed in a mayonnaise dressing. It is important to note that since this salad is mayonnaise based, it should be kept in the fridge and kept out of the sun when serving.
