Title: Curried Shrimp and Macaroni Salad
Categories: Salads, Seafood, Usenet
Yield: 4 Servings

1/4 c Mayonnaise
2 ts Curry powder
-(or to taste)
1 lb Shrimp (small), cleaned,
-deveined and cooked

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise. Put the remaining ingredients in
a large bowl. Dress with the curried mayonnaise. Chill 1-2 hours.

NOTES:

* A cold pasta dish -- This salad is quick and easy. It's best if made
several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor. It's been a
real hit at potlucks. Yield: serves 4 to 6.

* A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the
flesh of the melon with a "balling spoon" or "melon baller." About 1 1/3
cups of conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked macaroni.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 25 minutes (includes time to cook macaroni and make melon balls.)
: Precision: no need to measure.
