Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Originally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over.

The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed.

A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience.
