This shrimp pasta salad is the kind of dish I love to bring to a summer table. Shrimp get a bright marinade of Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil, White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Sweet Smoked Chili Rub, and Rainbow Sea Salt, then toss with pearl pasta, tangy feta, and fresh basil. It is bold, lemony, and a little bit smoky, and it works as a main dish or a shareable side.
