Steps:
- 1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, and add pasta shells; boil until al dente. Drain well.
- 2. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab, shrimp, onion, celery, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, pepper and lemon juice; mix well.
- 3. 3. Stuff cream cheese mixture into the jumbo pasta shells. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Regular cream cheese can be substituted for Neufchatel cheese, especially in recipes for dips and spreads, with good results. You may notice a slightly different texture in cooked products.
