24 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon green pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup butter, divided
2 (6-ounce) cans lump crabmeat, drained
1 (5-ounce) package frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons plus 4 cups 2% milk, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, sauté green pepper and onion in 1 teaspoon butter until tender; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the crab, shrimp, egg, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, pepper and green pepper mixture. Drain and rinse pasta; stuff each shell with 1 rounded tablespoon of seafood mixture. Place in a greased 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish. In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and coarsely ground pepper; gradually whisk in remaining milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour over stuffed shells. Sprinkle with remaining seafood seasoning. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.

Tips:

  • To make the seafood stuffing, use a variety of seafood, such as shrimp, crab, and scallops. This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor.
  • If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth instead.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the shells. If you do, they will be difficult to close and may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the shells until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the seafood is cooked through. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the shells immediately with a side of marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

Creamy seafood stuffed shells are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are also relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy them any night of the week.
