For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. If you're using pre-cooked shrimp, ensure it is of high quality and has a good flavor. You can also quickly sauté the shrimp with a little garlic and olive oil for added depth. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Diced red onion, bell peppers, or cucumber would all be delicious additions. This salad is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the vermicelli pasta and cook according to package directions, typically 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. (10 minutes)
02
StepDrain the pasta thoroughly and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. This also helps prevent the pasta from sticking together. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the cooled vermicelli pasta, cooked shrimp, chopped celery, fresh parsley, minced garlic, and dried thyme. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese until smooth and well combined. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the mayonnaise dressing over the pasta and shrimp mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the salad mushy. (3 minutes)
06
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Chilling the salad also enhances its refreshing qualities. (30 minutes)
07
StepBefore serving, give the salad a final gentle toss. Adjust seasoning as needed. (2 minutes)
