This turned out much better than I expected. I made some changes based on other reviews. I used 2 cups pasta, added more spinach, added 1/4 tsp. of crushed red pepper to the shrimp, used 1/2 cup chopped red onion and added some 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. Followed the rest of the recipe except I didn't use the beans or capers. It was very good and I will add it to the recipe file to make again.
Warm Pasta Salad with Shrimp
Toss warm pasta with the tangy dressing so it will absorb more flavor. If you prefer to serve this salad chilled, make it up to a day ahead, toss, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
