INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 1 pound pasta

  • Protein

    • 6 slices bacon
    • 🦐 1 pound cooked shrimp

  • Sauce

    • 1 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🍅 1 cup cherry tomatoes

STEPS

1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.

3

Combine pasta, shrimp, bacon, mayonnaise, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and any preferred additional vegetables (optional) in a large bowl and mix well. Taste and season with Cajun seasoning.

4

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
