SEAFOOD SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB

Seafood Salad With Shrimp and Crab image

This is my favorite spring and summer salad. It's a great opening act for any seafood dinner and it makes a really good snack or appetizer. I like it with Captain's Wafers. After mixing it, I pack it into individual 1 cup containers so it's ready to grab and go. I take it to work for lunch quite often. Cooking time is chilling time.
