Shrimp Macaroni Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 16 servings.
Whenever I attend a potluck or family gathering, I'm asked to make this salad, which has been a family secret for over 50 years. My husband likes it as a main dish, served with garlic bread. —Barbara Robbins Cave Junction, Oregon
