Description

A cool seafood salad that's a real treat for potlucks. Salad shrimp, crab meat, hard-cooked eggs, and the pasta of your choice are tossed in a homemade dressing.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 carrot, grated
1/2 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1 cup frozen fully cooked salad shrimp, thawed
1/2 cup crab meat, cooked
16 ounces mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
paprika to taste

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and add pasta to a large bowl. Stir in eggs, carrots, peas, shrimp, and crab meat. Cover, and refrigerate.
2 To make dressing, stir together mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, and sugar. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika.
3 Mix dressing into chilled pasta, stirring until well combined. If the salad seems dry, stir in more mayonnaise and a splash more milk or water. Cover, and chill before serving.
