For me it was such a treat to have “real” pasta without so many carbs that I bought an order of six boxes of each of the four types of Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta, but if anyone finds it at a lower price for fewer boxes I’d love to know where you find it. The pasta is less expensive on The Fiber Gourmet site, but the shipping is really costly unless you purchase a lot of pasta at once. The best price I found online was at Amazon where you can buy a package of 6 boxes and get it for $6.66 per box. In some parts of the country it’s sold in stores, but I haven’t found it in any stores near me. The biggest drawback to the Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta for many people will be the price. When that happens I use a tiny bit of Knorr Shrimp Bouillon (affiliate link) mixed with water to add to the shrimp juice before I reduce it. Sometimes I drain the frozen shrimp and not much liquid is released. What if your frozen shrimp doesn’t release much juice? Please don’t skip that step, it’s a game-changer for this salad.

But what else makes the salad so full of flavor is the idea of using a little of the shrimp “juice” saved from draining the frozen shrimp and adding it to the mayo-based dressing, plus the flavor boost of celery seeds. Notice the name of the recipe is Shrimp and Macaroni Salad (not Macaroni and Shrimp Salad), because this salad has lots of shrimp and less macaroni than most recipes for this type of salad. What makes this Shrimp Macaroni Salad so good? fresh-squeezed lemon juice, I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice.reduced shrimp “juice” (liquid saved when draining shrimp which has been boiled to concentrate the flavor).Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows (affiliate link), or use any macaroni if you don’t care about carbs.Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

That definitely makes it a lot more carb-conscious for something to make for a family party, and if your family loves this salad as much as mine does, you might need to make it whenever the family gets together. I honestly don’t think anyone would have ever guessed I made the salad with lower-carb pasta, and using the Fiber Gourmet pasta and lots of shrimp in this salad reduced the carbs to 12.7 net carbs per serving! So recently I tried making this salad with Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows (affiliate link) for a party at my sister Pam’s house. I was already using that trick of less macaroni and more shrimp for this family-favorite Shrimp and Macaroni Salad that’s a dish I’ve made for family parties for more than 30 years now, and it was definitely my father’s all-time favorite salad. (Remember to subtract fiber from carbs to get the net carbs.)
Shrimp macaroni salad update#
For today’s Friday Favorites pick, I’m excited to update this favorite Shrimp Macaroni Salad recipe with a lower-carb option! Recently Kara and I have become obsessed with the Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta that’s made in Italy and has lots of fiber to make it about half the net carbs of regular pasta.Īnd when I’ve been using Fiber Gourmet Pasta in recipes like Baked Penne with Sausage, I’ve also been using a lots of low-carb ingredients in proportion to the amount of pasta, which makes the finished dish pretty low in net carbs.
