Instructions<\/p>\n
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain it, then rinse it with cold water to chill it after cooking.<\/p>\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shrimp, crab meat, celery, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss gently until everything is mixed.<\/p>\n
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.<\/p>\n
Pour the dressing over the pasta and seafood mixture. Add the chopped dill, then toss until everything is evenly coated.<\/p>\n
Place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can combine.<\/p>\n
Serve cold with lemon wedges on the side.<\/p>\n
Success Tips<\/p>\n
Cook the pasta until al dente so it holds up well in the salad and does not become too soft.<\/p>\n
Fresh seafood will give the salad the best flavor, but frozen or canned seafood can also work when needed.<\/p>\n
For more tang, add extra lemon juice. For a fresher flavor, add a little more dill according to your preference.<\/p>\n
