SHRIMP PASTA SALAD WITH A CREAMY LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is slightly cooled.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Toss shrimp and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a glass baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Toss pasta with dressing in a bowl. Add shrimp and scallions; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and more pepper. Garnish pasta salad with Cheddar cheese and lemon slices.

CREAMY LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Refrigerate 15 minutes to overnight.

CREAMY LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• This creamy lemon vinaigrette has 6 ingredients and some water to thin it out. Sweet white vinegar pairs so well with the tart lemon but any vinegar can be used to make this vinaigrette. You can substitute with plain white vinegar, apple cider vinegar or even champagne vinegar. For added sweetness add just a bit of sugar, honey or maple syrup. Though dijon is my personal favorite, any mustard that you like or have on hand will work! As this is a lemon forward dressing, I highly recommend going with the real thing - fresh lemons!
• To your food processor or blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding a bit more salt, pepper, and/or lemon juice if needed.
• It is best to store this vinaigrette in a jar that has an air-tight lid. Store the creamy lemon vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks! As it sits, the oil will separate and harden a bit. Simply give the jar a shake to re-emulsify or pour it back into your blender for a quick blend.

• Prepare all the vegetables and toss together.
• Make the dressing by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add the shrimp to the salad and toss with dressing. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
