Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh seafood. If you can't find fresh shrimp or crab, frozen seafood is a good alternative.
  • Be sure to devein and clean the shrimp before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp and crab until they are just cooked through. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling. This will give the cannelloni a more complex flavor.

  • Serve the cannelloni immediately after they are baked. They are best when they are hot and bubbly.
