Good news, my friends.
I get to share the recipe with you sooner than later! 
I will warn you that this recipe definitely makes a TON of pasta, so be prepared to either a) be hungry, b) have dinner guests, c) eat it for days, or d) try freezing some.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing all of the above.
Cheesy Crab & Shrimp Shells
Prep & Cook Time: ~20 minutes total
Yield: 6 (1-1/2 cup) servings
Ingredients:
- 1 box whole wheat medium shells
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 wedges The Laughing Cow light cream cheese spread
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen peas and carrots, cooked according to package
- 8 ounces cooked salad shrimp
- 8 ounces chopped crab meat
Directions:
1. Cook the Hodgson Mill whole wheat medium shells according to directions on package. Drain and place back in their pot.
2. While the pasta cooks, whisk together milk, chicken broth, and cornstarch and a small bowl and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and celery and continue to cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peas and carrots and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Stir in the milk mixture until blended and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
4. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheeses and Old Bay seasoning. Add shrimp and crab meat and stir to heat through, about 2-3 minutes. Add cooked shells and toss until coated.
5. Serve immediately or allow to chill and serve as a cool pasta dish. Enjoy!
*The last I checked, my recipe still wasn’t up on the Hodgson Mill pinterest board, but as soon as it is, I’d LOVE to have your votes! 
Holy cow that looks delicious and easy!! Definitely trying this this week!! Glad you can share.
I KNEW IT WAS CRAB! Ah, Courtney… I think this little Baltimore girl just died and went to Maryland’s version of heaven full of crabs :) I will be making this dish A.S.A.P!
A recipe that makes a lot- WINNER! That means leftovers and less cooking for a meal or two, those kind are my favorites! :)
I’m a huge fan of crab and shrimp so this must be made soon!
I just ate dinner and I’m tempted to whip together everything to make this for lunch tomorrow! If it wasn’t so dang hot in my apartment I would do it in a second :) Yay thanks for sharing!!
Yum! Looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe :)
WOW!!! That looks so yummy!!! And the fact that it takes only 20 minutes to make! This is definately a meal I’m going to have to make. Thanks for the recipe! You’ve got my vote! :)
This looks delish. I have so many cookbooks that I’ll look for recipes randomly. A pasta casserole with pepperoni was calling my name (yours looks a tad healthier though :)
That looks very delicious. I will probably try this at home and good thing that it is cook within 20 minutes and ready to eat. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh my gosh… My boyfriend LOVES crab and mac ‘n’ cheese. They’re like his two favorite foods. Can’t wait to make this for him – he’s gonna flip out!!
This looks great! Do you have any truffle oil on hand? I bet a drizzle at the end would take the dish even one more up a notch!
Mannnn, I don’t! Everyone always raves about it…I feel like I oughta get some!
Fantastic food… I will try to make that one. Thanks for sharing with us.
oooh make the shells GF and I AM IN!!
That looks sooooo good!
That pasta dish looks great! I love that it has shrimp and crab in it. Two of my faves! Must try this! :)
YAY!!!!! I didn’t realize there was shrimp in it yesterday. I could see the crab meat. This makes this even better. My husband and son LOVE shrimp!. This will be going on July menu for sure! I can’t wait to make it!
Looks delicious! I’ll definitely be making this soon.
Just pinned this to my recipe board. Looks delish!
I just made this tonight, and it was delish! My family of four will definitely be having this again for lunch or dinner tomorrow! Love that it makes a lot, and it was so easy!
hi court, where did you find the old bay seasoning? is it at your regular grocery store?
Yup! :)
hey I was just wondering what exactly salad shrimp is.. how big is it/where do you find it? thanks!
ps this dish looks incredible.. can’t wait to make it!
Salad shrimp is very tiny! I found a package of it in the frozen seafood section of my grocery store (I believe the package was exactly 8oz. too). If you can’t find salad shrimp, then I’d say to just try and find the smallest shrimp that you can. :)
Thank you! :)
