Tips for the Best Seafood Stuffed Shells
Use Fresh Seafood: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and crab. However, frozen or imitation crab works well too.
Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Cook the shells just until al dente, as they will continue to soften in the oven.
Make Ahead: Assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
Customize the Sauce: Add a splash of white wine or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
With Garlic Bread: Serve with warm, buttery garlic bread for dipping into the creamy sauce.
Side Salad: Pair with a crisp green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
