24 ounces shrimp
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
1 lemon
3 tablespoons Greek seasoning
½ cup light extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

Cook pasta according to directions, then drain
1 pound pasta (ditalini, rotini, etc)
If your shrimp is already cooked, skip to the next step. If not, peel and devein the shrimp. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and then boil the shrimp for about 3 minutes, until they are pink and no longer translucent. Drain, and move to an ice bath to halt any further cooking. After a few minutes, drain again.
24 ounces shrimp
Chop up cooked shrimp, cut tomatoes in half, and add both to the cooked pasta. Grate the peel of the lemon over the pasta.
24 ounces shrimp, 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, 1 lemon
In a small bowl, add the juice of the lemon (about 3 tbsp), Greek seasoning, olive oil, and mayonnaise. Whisk to combine.
3 tablespoons Greek seasoning, ½ cup light extra virgin olive oil, 5 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 lemon
Pour dressing over pasta dish, and stir to combine
Can be served cold or room-temperature

Notes

It's easiest if you buy shrimp that is already cooked, deveined and peeled. The kind I get is in the frozen food section of Publix, and still has the tails on.
