Pasta Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

This salad is pretty quick to make and great for a hot summer day. I know it's meatless Monday and this has shrimp in it but I eat shrimp and lots of people love shrimp :). This is easy to customize with whatever you like such as bell peppers or you could get crazy and throw in some daikon radishes. We originally served this hot right after cooking but as a cold pasta salad that is made ahead it is also delicious!
