Ingredients

  • 1 lb Medium Shell Pasta cooked
  • 2 tbs Butter
  • 1 c Diced Celery about 3 stalks
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 12 oz Salad Shrimp frozen cooked & peeled
  • 8 oz Lobster frozen cooked & peeled
  • 8 oz Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
  • 1 c Mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Cracked Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to directions. My general rule of thumb when cooking pasta is about 16 cups of water with a generous pinch of kosher salt. Bring water to a boil and add pasta, cook for 10 minutes. Drain well.
  • While the pasta cooks.... add 2 tablespoons of butter to a large skillet. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted.
  • Add the celery and onions to the skillet, I used a Vidalia onion because they're in season, and cook until translucent. This will take about 5 minutes.
  • Add the lobster, crab, and shrimp to the skillet and saute until heated through then remove skillet from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise (I use Dukes) , lemon juice, Old Bay, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the sautéed seafood and veggies to the mixing bowl and give a stir to combine.
  • Finally, add the cooked pasta. Stir to mix it all together.
  • While this can be served warm, my preference is to chill it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, then serve.
