Recipe Talk

I used to have a recipe for a shrimp and macaroni salad but lost it. My mother lost hers and when she tried to contact the person who originated it, the person had died and neither his widow or anyone else who had the recipe has been able to locate it since the man died. It is a very specific recipe using Kraft Mac and cheese, baby shrimp, Hellmaine's (sp?) Mayo and dill pickle cubes. Is there anyone out there who has this recipe. Mystified!
