Ingredients

1 pound Elbow Macaroni
32 ounces Cooked shrimp medium size (51/60)
1 cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Lemon juice
3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 Green onion
1 cup Red bell pepper
1 cup Celery
1/4 cup Diced red onion

Instructions

Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Make sure to salt your water for added flavor.
Once the pasta is al dente, drain the water and rinse pasta under cold water. Let the pasta drain thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
Pat your cooked shrimp dry with a paper towel and then sprinkle with one teaspoon of the Old Bay seasoning and toss so that all of the shrimp is lightly coated.
In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, remaining Old Bay seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk together.
Add the cooked macaroni, cooked shrimp, green onion, red bell pepper, celery, and red onion to a large bowl.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over everything and gently toss together until well-coated.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let it chill.
Once it has chilled you can serve immediately or store until ready to eat.
