### Instructions
1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool quickly and prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped shrimp, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, fresh dill, and fresh parsley.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth.
4. Pour the dressing over the pasta and seafood mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or ideally 1-2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Seafood Pasta Salad!
### Short Tips
* For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice along with the lemon juice in the dressing.
* Feel free to add other seafood like crab meat, scallops, or calamari rings for more variety.
* Don’t overcook the pasta! Al dente pasta holds its shape better in salads.
* If you’re making this ahead, you can prepare the pasta and chop the vegetables the day before. Add the dressing and shrimp just before serving for the freshest taste.
* For a lighter dressing, reduce the amount of mayonnaise and increase the Greek yogurt.
* Garnish with extra fresh dill or parsley before serving for a beautiful presentation.
