Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool completely.

Brown the shrimp & andouille sausage in a skillet until lightly crisp. Let cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, sausage, shrimp, bell peppers, celery, green onions, and parsley.

Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Save this one for your next summer cookout or BBQ ✨#easyrecipe #pastasalad #jambalaya
