• 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.33 cup Celery, finely diced
• 3 tablespoons Red onion, finely diced

• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain them and set them aside to cool completely.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cooked and chopped shrimp, shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Add the finely diced celery, red onion, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the seafood mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

Step 4

Once the pasta shells are cool, gently fill each shell with about 2-3 tablespoons of the seafood salad mixture. Be careful not to overfill to prevent splitting.

Step 5

Arrange the stuffed shells on a serving platter, open side up. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and additional parsley leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 6

Chill the stuffed shells in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
