SEAFOOD-STUFFED SHELLS

Seafood-Stuffed Shells image

This recipe takes a long time to prepare so start at least 2-3 hours before planning to eat. It can be expensive to make but every mouthful is worth it. You can use Ricotta Cheese or Cottage Cheese. To save on money I've always used the Cottage Cheese and it taste great.This recipe can be cut in halve.
