CRAB/SEAFOOD PASTA SALAD
This is my original recipe for a delicious seafood salad that is versatile. It can be made with fresh lump crabmeat, canned crab, or imitation. You may use fresh, cooked shrimp or frozen. You may combine crab and shrimp or lobster, if you prefer. Each way, it is a real winner! I love it, so much, that I've been known to eat it...
