1️⃣ Cook the Pasta
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep it firm.
2️⃣ Combine the Ingredients
In a large bowl, gently mix together the cooled pasta, shrimp, crab meat, celery, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
3️⃣ Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth.
4️⃣ Mix & Chill
Pour the dressing over the pasta and seafood mixture. Add the chopped dill and toss everything gently to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Serve the salad chilled with lemon wedges for a refreshing citrus boost. Perfect as a main dish or a side!
💡 Pro Tips
✔️ Cook the pasta just until al dente for best texture.
✔️ Fresh seafood provides optimal flavor, but frozen or canned varieties work in a pinch.
✔️ Adjust the seasoning: more lemon juice for tang or extra dill for a herby punch!
