Easy Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad Recipe

This amazing Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad includes mayo, ranch dressing, cocktail sauce, lemon juice, red pepper, and green onion – YUM!

Today I’m bringing you my favorite pasta salad recipe, Shrimp Louis Pasta Salad. I made this for my son’s first birthday party and I absolutely loved it (and so did everyone else).  It is important to let the finished pasta salad chill for a few hours to let the flavor develop. It really makes a big difference in flavor.

Some reviewers reported that they thought there was too much sauce in this dish, but I thought it was just right. If you have leftovers, the sauce tends to be absorbed even more into the pasta a day after preparing. If this is a worry to you, increase the amount of pasta by just a bit.
