5 g salt (or to taste)

1 pinch cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add lemon juice and chopped dill. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate the dressing.

Step 2

Boil well-salted water in a pot and cook pasta shells until tender (8 to 10 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine shrimp with pasta. Add red bell pepper, celery, and dressing to the pasta mixture. Mix thoroughly to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled (2 to 3 hours).

Step 4

Stir the salad before serving. Season to taste with more salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper if desired. If the salad seems dry, mix in a little more mayonnaise. Garnish with paprika and sprigs of dill.
