🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt with herbs

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise with herbs

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Boil salted water for cooking noodles.

Add 1 pound of rotini noodles to boiling water and cook for 11 minutes until al dente.

While noodles cook, season shrimp with garlic powder, parsley flakes, salt, and black pepper; let sit for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Wash and prepare vegetables: cut ends off cucumber, peel some skin, and slice into pieces.

Cut green bell pepper into small pieces, avoiding large chunks.

Once noodles are cooked, rinse them in a colander with cold water to cool them down.

In a pan, melt 2 teaspoons of butter and cook seasoned shrimp for 3 to 4.5 minutes until opaque, avoiding adding any liquid from the shrimp.

Mix cooled noodles with mayonnaise and mustard to taste, starting with a little and adding more if needed.

Combine noodles, shrimp, and chopped vegetables in a large bowl; mix well.
