Jane Otto
You can use frozen, vacuum packed “fake” crabmeat.
Ingredients Instructions

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces jumbo sized pasta shells uncooked
  • 7 1/2 ounces crabmeat canned falked and cartilage removed
  • 2 1/2 ounces tiny shrimp canned drained
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup salad dressing or mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons celery thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pimiento finely chopped
  • celery leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  1. Add the shells gradually to 6 quarts of boiling salted water and cook until tender, yet firm. Drain; rinse with cold water, then drain again. Set aside, upside down to cool.
  2. Combine the crabmeat, shrimp, cheese, salad dressing, celery, onion and pimiento in a small bowl. If the mixture seems too dry, add more salad dressing. Spoon the mixture into the cooled shells; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  3. Serve the shells garnished with celery leaves.
