Notes

This recipe is very versatile! You can add as much crab meat and shrimp as you like. Season this to your liking. More of less mayo depending how wet or dry you want your Seafood Pasta to be. I did notice when it sat in the fridge covered, it got a little bit drier. I added more miracle whip. Do what you desire!
