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.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces. A simple tomato sauce is always a good choice, but you can also try a pesto sauce, a cream sauce, or a vodka sauce.
- Serve the cannelloni immediately after they are baked. They are best when they are hot and bubbly.
