Tea Room Seafood Pasta Salad

Category: Pasta Salads

1½ cups uncooked pasta rings or elbow or little shells or ditalini, etc - the smaller the pasta, the better
1/2 pound fresh crab meat (I prefer to use the refrigerated crab)
1/2 pound fresh medium shrimp, chopped coarsely
4 chopped green onions, whites and some of the greens
1/2 cup diced celery (I peel the outer stalks of the celery first, using a potato peeler...the celery is tender and crispy
without all the stringy-ness!)
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon (or to taste) dried dill weed
dash or two of Old Bay Seasoning
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to your taste

Cook pasta per package directions; drain and allow it to cool completely.
Mix crab, shrimp, green onions, celery, and cooled pasta.
Mix mayonnaise with dill weed, Old Bay, and lemon juice; pour over salad mixture.
Taste salad; season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Keep salad well-chilled until ready to serve.
