Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, black olives, and parsley. Toss gently to mix everything together evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to ensure that the dressing coats all the ingredients.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and gently stir until the pasta is well coated with the dressing and mixed in with the other ingredients.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become chilled.
When ready to serve, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing. You can sprinkle some additional chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
