Ingredients

16 ounces pasta
1 pound lump crab meat diced
1 pound cooked shrimp frozen, thawed
1 cup peas frozen, thawed
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 large red bell pepper diced
2 stalks celery finely chopped

DRESSING

1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dill fresh, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Then rinse under cold water, drain, and let it cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, crab meat, shrimp, peas, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and celery.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and seafood mixture. Stir everything together until it's well-coated.
Cover the salad and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour so all the flavors can mix and blend together. Before serving, give the salad a good stir and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Notes

I couldn't find the link to the Crab Meat. But most average supermarkets will have it. I used Chicken of the Sea Premium Crab Meat.
