This is a delicious pasta salad with shrimp and black olives that I have been making for over 30 years now and my family loves it , if you like shrimp you will love this salad too. My sister makes this as well but she likes to add celery and onions to hers. If you like crab this salad is delicious made that way too , just substitute the shrimp with the crab or imitation crab meat and add celery and onions. This salad is even better the next day when all the flavors have combined together...enjoy :D
