Description:
Cold Seafood Salad- With just enough crunch in it to please everyone.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups, Wild Caught American Shrimp (I buy them frozen, cleaned and pre~cooked).
- 2 Cups Icicle Brand (USA) cut up Crab Meat
- 5 Boiled Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Celery Sliced very thin, then halved
- 1 Small Onion, yellow or red, salad size pieces
- 1 Small cucumber, fresh, thin slices, then halved
- 1 Cup Frozen Peas
- 3 Cups (before cooking) cooked pasta, your choice of shells or swirls, (elbow macaroni can also be used)
- 1/3 Cup Plain Yogurt
- 1/3 Cup Real Mayonnaise
- 1/4 Cup Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing
- Dash of ReaLemon Juice
- Lemon Pepper Fish Seasoning to taste
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- Add dill weed, fresh chives, (whatever pleases your palate).
Directions:
- Boil eggs.
- Boil pasta, al dente.
- Chill these in ice water if you need the salad right away.
Lightly stir all ingredients together.
If mixture seems dry, add more dressing or yogurt.
* Adding more mayo will bring out overpowering mayo flavor.
Chill for about half an hour.
Stir again, toss into serving dish.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Add a touch of parmesan, romano, or asiago cheese.
Individual servings get sprinkled with homemade garlic croutons.
Mmmmmmmm
Enjoy!

"1 Cup Frozen Peas"
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!
(I knew what you meant Silly Pea).
good to know... it was making me spit.
ReplyDeleteSounds good..will put it in my reciepe file...but I won't be able to eat any due to my shellfish allergy. But I do make shellfish dishes for the rest of the family. Lord knows they will and can eat everything....lol
ReplyDeleteI put frozen peas in salads a lot! Especially pasta or rice salads. The heat of the cooked pasta or rice thaws the peas and frozen peas are much better thawed than cooked. This recipe looks yummy.
ReplyDeletecan I just eat the crab? no really sounds good and a great and easy salad thanks will do it
ReplyDeleteyou and Anne just want to keep me cold... *sniff* no one loves me anymore...
