Curried shrimp & macaroni salad

Yield: 4 Servings

Measure Ingredient
¼ cup Mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Curry powder (or to taste)
1 pounds Shrimp (small), cleaned, deveined and cooked
2 cups Honeydew balls
½ cup Water chestnuts, slivered, drained
1⅓ cup Conchiglie piccole pasta, cooked (small sea-shell macaroni; measure before cooking)

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise. Put the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Dress with the curried mayonnaise. Chill 1-2 hours.

NOTES:

* A cold pasta dish -- This salad is quick and easy. It's best if made several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor.

It's been a real hit at potlucks. Yield: serves 4 to 6.

* A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a "balling spoon" or "melon baller." About 1⅓ cups of conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked macaroni.

: Difficulty: easy.

: Time: 25 minutes (includes time to cook macaroni and make melon balls.) : Precision: no need to measure.
