How to Make Tortellini Pasta Salad With Shrimp

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of tortellini and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini with 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the tortellini mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with extra parsley before serving.
