What, no diced Spam in your Hawaiian mac salad?

Here's one very similar to mine, only I don't care for the eggs in mac
salad... I do prefer the small shell pasta rather than elbows (shells
hold more dressing), and I do like tuna in mine but I also like a can
of those baby shrimp. And I like a goodly amount of finely minced
curly leaf parsley mixed in too... flat leaf doesn't work. I also
don't like the pasta cooked too soft as it will soften up in the fridge
as it absorbs the dressing... and over cooked pasta all clumps
together, I like mac salad so the pasta remeains individual.
