Best Seafood Pasta Salad


I came up with this recipe about 15 years ago, i make it for potlucks and such and its always cleaned up quick. Takes a bit of time for chopping and such but is worth every bit of it. This makes a large batch, but can be cut in half for smaller appetites. Tastes even better when made a day ahead.

Steps


Boil pasta according to package directions for al dente.
Drain and rinse under cold water till cooled.
Drain well.
Blend mayo and zesty italian dressing until smooth and creamy.
Coarsely chop crabmeat.
Toss pasta , crab , shrimp , green onions , peas , and black olives.
Toss with dressing until well mixed and chill.

Ingredients


tri-color spiral pasta, imitation crabmeat, small shrimp, green onion, frozen peas, black olives, mayonnaise, italian salad dressing
