LINDA'S SEAFOOD PASTA SALAD



Linda's Seafood Pasta Salad image

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!

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sourdough bread, 1 medium load, roughly torn
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
4 cups dry white wine, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1 lb shrimp, 16/20 count, peeled and deveined
1 lb large scallops
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
2 cups half & half
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
28 oz artichoke heart, 2 cans, drained and chopped
fresh chive, chopped, for garnish
lemon wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Spread the bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Let cool to room temperature. Leave the oven on.
  • Add the toasted bread to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. You should have about 4 cups (460 G) of bread crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, the cheddar cheese, and 1 teaspoon of salt and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • In a medium pot, combine 4 cups (960 ml) of white wine and a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until bright pink, about 1 minute. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a colander to drain.
  • Return the wine to a boil. Add the scallops and cook until just opaque, about 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a colander to drain.
  • Chop the shrimp and scallops into bite-size pieces. Transfer to large bowl, along with the crab and 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss to combine.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, the flour, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, lemon juice, ketchup, remaining tablespoon of white wine, and remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Brush the remaining tablespoon of melted butter in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.
  • Scatter the artichokes in an even layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Scoop the seafood mixture over the artichokes. Pour the sauce over the seafood. Top with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown.
  • Top with chives and serve with lemon wedges.
  • Enjoy!

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. There are many different ways to make seafood salad. Try adding different vegetables, fruits, nuts, and dressings to find your favorite combination.
  • Make seafood salad ahead of time. This is a great dish to make ahead of time for easy entertaining. Just store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
