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!

Tips:

Use fresh seafood for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good alternative.
Cook the seafood properly to avoid overcooking. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients.
Use a light dressing for your pasta salad. A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less enjoyable.
Serve the pasta salad chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Seafood pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
