Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • mayonnaise
  • 1 spoon Dijon mustard
  • ketchup
  • Worcester sauce
  • salt
  • cayenne
  • 1 whole lemon
  • dill
Dressing first: whisk mayonnaise with a spoon of Dijon, a little ketchup, a few drops of Worcestershire, salt, a little cayenne, the juice of one lemon and plenty of chopped dill; refrigerate.
  • salt
  • pasta shells
Boil the pasta shells fully in water salted with a big spoon of salt, drain, and rinse with cold water about 10 seconds so they are warm, not hot; let drain.
  • 1 lb pink shrimp
Cut the shrimp in half (or rough chop).
  • celery
  • red bell pepper
In a mixing bowl combine shells, shrimp, diced celery and finely diced red bell pepper; mix in the dressing thoroughly so it gets inside the shells.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least two or three hours.
  • paprika or cayenne
Mix, check whether it needs more mayonnaise, adjust lemon, salt and cayenne, and garnish with paprika or cayenne and a sprig of dill.
