Garlic Shrimp Pasta Salad

A favorite recipe of mine for summer:

Garlic Shrimp Pasta Salad

2 1/2 cups dry macaroni
1 6 oz. can tiny shrimp or 1 cup cooked small shrimp (the smaller the better)
3 tbsp. olive-oil based mayonnaise
1 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. cooking white wine
2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tbsp. chopped garlic (ready made, packed in olive oil)
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in a large glass mixing bowl. (No added salt is required, as the Old Bay and the cooking wine are salty.) Drain pasta and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Add to the dressing in the mixing bowl and stir until combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow flavors to combine.

Serves 6-8 as a side dish.
