Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Jumbo pasta shells
- 1 cup Shrimp, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup Crab meat (lump or imitation)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with the seafood mixture, gently pressing it into the shell. Arrange the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish, seam side up.
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired before serving.
