are done.

Beat the egg and add it to the mixture. Cook, stirring, for about half a

-(or to taste)
1 lb Shrimp (small), cleaned,
-deveined and cooked
2 c Honeydew balls
1/2 c Water chestnuts,
-slivered, drained
1 1/3 c Conchiglie piccole pasta,

-macaroni; measure before
-cooking)

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise. Put the
remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Dress with the
curried mayonnaise. Chill 1-2 hours.

NOTES:

* A cold pasta dish — This salad is quick and easy.
It’s best if made several hours before serving, to
get the full curry flavor. It’s been a real hit at
potlucks. Yield: serves 4 to 6.

* A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is
scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a “balling
spoon” or “melon baller.” About 1 1/3 cups of
conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked
macaroni.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 25 minutes (includes time to cook macaroni
and make melon balls.) : Precision: no need to
measure. :
