Peas and Shrimp Salad

large bag of peas (I believe its a 32 oz. bag), thawed- but do NOT use the microwave to thaw them!

cooked baby cocktail shrimp (if these are not available, you can dice larger shrimp like I did)

water chestnuts, chopped

bunch of green onions (white and green parts), chopped

of a can of salted cashews (I chopped them in this but my mother in law leaves them whole- they taste delicious either way!)

Salt and pepper

- 3/4 cups of mayonnaise
