Add the crab, shrimp, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives and bell pepper; mix gently to coat with the dressing. Taste, and adjust seasoning if desired. If the pasta is too dry, mix in more mayonnaise.

QUICK AND EASY CRABMEAT DRESSING

Steps:

• Stir into the crab meat, add garlic powder, and mix until blended.
• Spoon into loaf pan treated with no-stick cooking spray (DO NOT PRESS).
• Brush lightly with butter, sprinkle with paprika, and bake covered in a 375°F oven for 45 minutes.
• Remove covering, add parmesan cheese, and continue to bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
• Serve as a side dish, the main dish, or a bed for Shrimp Scampi.

ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
• For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
• For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
• Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
• Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
• Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
• I love this.
