Shrimp Scampi Pasta Salad – a classic summer dish with an added twist. With just a few simple ingredients, this pasta salad is elevated to a whole new level of deliciousness.

My kids & hubby love shrimp scampi. Let me correct this; they really love any kind of shrimp. Fried, baked or grilled, it really doesn’t matter – although they prefer it drenched in a garlic lemon butter sauce.

With it being summer, of course, there are a ton of gatherings from picnics, BBQs, family reunions, birthdays and poolside celebrations. Typically, this means you always have to take a dish to share, right? And there are always lots of those summer crowd favorites to choose from. The first thing that comes to my mind is pasta salad. While I love your classic pasta salad, I love mixing it up and bring something no one expects. Since my family is on a shrimp kick, I was inspired to make this Shrimp Scampi Pasta Salad. Eating outdoors is one of the best things about summer, and you can always add seafood {including our favorite, shrimp} to your traditional dishes, giving them a fun twist.

With using SeaPak Shrimp Scampi made it easy to whip up this dish in just 30 minutes. I used some traditional pasta salad ingredients like noodles, mayo and a few veggies. Then I added the cooked shrimp scampi. I left some of them whole so this dish would look gorgeous. I also chopped up the rest, ensuring every bite had some shrimp.

I keep SeaPak Shrimp Scampi on hand for an easy dinner or to make a dish to share with friends. Shrimp for our family inspires some fun & creative dishes. Plus, just eating the SeaPak Shrimp Scampi as a meal by itself makes cooking on the late summer nights easy on me. Stock up on a box or two {like we do}.
