I was making these for Easter this year and didn't fully like any of the recipes I found, so I came up with this one from ingredients from about 10 recipes. These are very filling, so you may want to slice in half before serving. Or, I did see some large pasta shells (not the stuffing ones) about 1/4 the size and thought these would be better. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese |
1 (8 ounce) package baby shrimp |
2 cans crabmeat or 1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat (chopped) |
2 scallions (minced) |
1/2 package pasta shells (large) |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth using hand mixer or food processor.
2. Fold in the crab meat, shrimp, and scallions until evenly combined.
3. Stuff the shells with the mixture and place on a serving dish.
4. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 12 hours before serving.
5. Can cut the shells in half prior to serving as these are very filling.
