How to Make - Summer Pasta Salad with Shrimp and Green Beans

Time: 45 min.
Complexity: easily
Servings: 4 - 6

To make this summer salad, combine cooked pasta (preferably small, like campanelle), tomatoes, green beans, and pan-fried shrimp in a bowl. To give the beans a slightly tender and pleasant crunch, blanch them in boiling water first, then quickly plunge them into ice water. Frying the shrimp also takes just a few minutes, resulting in firm and juicy texture. The finished salad is tossed with a light vinaigrette, which adds a refreshing flavor. Serve as a hearty standalone dish.
