The Ultimate Seafood Pasta Salad

📝 Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta:
   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool.
2. Prep the shrimp:
   • If using raw shrimp, cook in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and let cool. If using pre-cooked shrimp, rinse and pat dry.
3. Make the dressing:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine everything:
   • In a large bowl, mix the cooled pasta, shrimp, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, bell pepper, parsley, and dill.
   • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until well coated.
5. Chill & serve:
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
   • Garnish with extra herbs and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
