Summer Shrimp Pasta Salad

Reviving an old standby...

Almost as long as I can remember, summertime is pasta salad time.

As early as my late teens, I started making cold pasta salads: First meal was dinner, then easy lunch for several days after that. Almost always vaguely Mediterranean, I’ve found this sort of olive oil-based pasta salad is more versatile, and stays nicer longer than, say, a mayo-based pasta salad.

Also, I personally just view the oil-based salads as “cleaner” somehow. Not sure there’s a basis in fact for that, though.
