How to Make Marinated Shrimp Vegetable Pasta Salad
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the shrimp marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor).
- Chop 1 cup cherry tomatoes in half, 1/2 cup cucumber into small cubes, 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color) into small pieces, and 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced.
- Drain the marinated mozzarella balls (approximately 8 ounces) and cut them into quarters.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, marinated shrimp, chopped vegetables, and quartered mozzarella balls.
- Add 1/4 cup of the reserved shrimp marinade to the salad and toss gently to combine. Add more marinade to taste if needed.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra parsley before serving (optional).
