Recipe Introduction
These savory shells make a marvelous main dish or appetizer and are surprisingly easy to make. The filling can be spooned into the shells, or it can be piped in with a very large tip and bag for a more decorative finish. Finely chopped imitation crabmeat can be used in place of the real crab if desired.
List of Ingredients
36 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and cooled to room temperature
16 oz. softened cream cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Tblsp. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. picked over lump crabmeat
6 oz. cooked salad shrimp
2 bunches minced scallions
Recipe
Beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the crabmeat, shrimp, and scallions until evenly combined. Stuff the shells with the mixture and place on a serving dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 12 hours before serving. Makes 6 dinner servings and 12 appetizer servings.
