Seafood Stuffed Shells! image

I had this dish at an Italian restaurant, years ago. I loved it so much and raved about it, but when I went back, they had updated the menu, which involved removing my favorite dish! Well, guess that means I have to make it myself! So here it is, my home version!

These stuffed shells are a great make-ahead meal. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were just as good when I reheated them.
