Place eggs in small pot, cover with cold water, bring to boil, cover and remove from heat for 15 minutes. Drain ad cover with cold water. Immediately remove shells and set aside. Meanwhile, cook pasta in lightly salted water until al dente (about 8 minutes.) Drain, rinse and set aside. Combine mayo and lemon juice. Mix pasta, celery, dill, parsley, celery, shrimp and mayo mixture. Slice eggs. Gently add most of eggs to mixture saving a few slices for garnish. Chill several hours.  It's even better the second day.   Tried another new recipe.  It’s been so hot most foods just sound too “heavy” (and take too much energy)LOL!   I had everything to make this main dish salad and I’m so glad I did.  It is delicious and the fresh parsley gives it a nice, fresh taste.  You could substitute chicken for the shrimp and it would be just as good.
