How to make this family-favorite Shrimp Macaroni Salad: That makes the carb count much lower and makes the pasta much more affordable. So for this recipe, one cup of the light elbows makes six servings of salad. How to make Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta more affordable and reduce the carbs:Įven though the Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta varieties are all much lower in carbs than other pastas made from wheat, I like to make the carbs even lower by using this pasta in recipes with lots of other low-carb ingredients. 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.
