How to Make Creatively Delicious Seafood Pasta Salad
- **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- **Prepare the Pasta:** Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and drain again. Set aside to cool.
- **Prep the Seafood:** Gently flake 1.5 cups cooked crab meat (or substitute 1 pound cooked shrimp).
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, crab meat (or shrimp), 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- **Add Dressing & Mix:** Pour the dressing over the pasta and seafood mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- **Optional Additions:** Stir in any desired additions such as: 1/4 cup green olives (sliced), 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms (sliced), 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas, or a pinch of curry powder for extra flavor.
- **Chill & Serve:** Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Leftovers should be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours.
