Seafood Pasta Salad

Seafood Pasta Salad

"This seafood pasta salad goes great as a side dish with any meal! It’s especially refreshing to serve along with anything off of the grill. Or serve it on it’s own as a light lunch or snack!! This seafood pasta salad uses little cooked shrimp and imitation crab meat. I like to use the extra small frozen shrimp that are 100-150 count per pound. I also use the chunk imitation crab so there’s no chopping or dicing involved, just dump them in! You can really use any pasta for this seafood pasta salad. Shells, rigatoni, macaroni…anything. But my favorite is to use the spiral shaped rotini pasta!! They’re just so pretty, and they keep a firmness that doesn’t get mushy once it sits in the fridge for a day. And…spiral rotini are just springy and fun!!! Chopped celery and red onion add flavor a just a bit of crunch to the salad. Shredded cheddar cheese adds flavor and a pretty color!!! Mayo and sour cream mix together to create the dressing that makes this salad so creamy and good. And dill weed, Old Bay Seasoning, and Salt & Pepper make up the spices for this seafood pasta salad!!"
