Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked and cooled pasta to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Stir in the sautéed shrimp, red bell pepper, celery, red onion, and cilantro. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined and coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a main dish or side. Enjoy!
