How to Make Pasta Shell And Shrimp Or Ham Salad
- Cook pasta shells according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, and your choice of protein (shrimp or ham).
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.
- Add the minced shallots, garlic, diced celery, carrot, and bell peppers to the vinegar mixture.
- Stir well, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to create a creamy emulsion.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold the dressing into the pasta mixture, ensuring all the pasta is evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
