I love the flavors in this pasta salad with the addition of the lemon, shrimp and Old Bay Seasoning! I often substitute whole wheat pasta in this dish... I also double the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning and lemon, adding half when I initially make it, then just before serving I add some more, so it isn't dry after sitting in the fridge for flavors to meld... Sometimes I just double up on the shrimp or the crabmeat instead of using both together... Either way, this recipe is a KEEPER for sure! Ingredients:
8 ounces shell pasta |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons onions, minced |
6 ounces fresh baby shrimp, cooked and peeled |
8 ounces fresh crabmeat, chopped |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 -2 teaspoon old bay seasoning, to taste |
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed |
1 tablespoon parsley |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to pkg. directions.
2. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
3. Immediately toss with lemon juice.
4. Mix in the remaining ingredients.
5. Chill for several hours.
6. Serve on a bed a lettuce.
