For an extra touch of freshness, consider adding finely chopped celery or Vidalia onion to the salad. Feel free to substitute your favorite type of pasta for the spaghetti. Rotini or elbow macaroni work well. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preference. Some people prefer a creamier salad, while others prefer a lighter dressing. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh parsley before serving for a more appealing presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti pieces and cook until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
02
StepCombine Seafood and Vegetables: Add the chopped hard-cooked eggs, grated carrot, thawed petite peas, thawed salad shrimp, and cooked crab meat to the bowl with the pasta. Gently stir to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to allow the mixture to chill thoroughly. (30 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
04
StepDress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the chilled pasta and seafood mixture. Gently fold to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. If the salad appears dry, add more mayonnaise and a splash of milk or water until desired consistency is reached.
05
StepChill and Serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
