Hello Anthony,

The below recipe has that name. If that's not it, then I need more information about the recipe.

Phaedrus,

It's me again.  I am looking for a shrimp recipe that my wife used to make. 
She grew up in New York state.  She called this "Shrimp Salad".  It was made 
with elbow macaroni, boiled shrimp, mayo, and I think, some onions, pickles, 
salt and pepper to taste, and I don't know what else.  I tried making this 
putting in what I thought it had, but it just was not the same.  I found lots 
of Shrimp Salad recipes, but I did not find any made with elbow macaroni. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bobby  

Hi Bobby,

I found lots of recipes. Over 200. I had to narrow it down by specifying only those with mayonnaise, but that still left a lot of recipes. Thing is, most shrimp salad recipes call for those little "baby" canned shrimp rather than fresh boiled shrimp. Your wife may have substituted. See below for a sampling.
