uncooked pasta rings or elbow or little shells or ditalini, etc - the smaller the pasta, the better, fresh crab meat (i prefer to use the refrigerated crab - or pick my own crab meat off the legs - over the shelved canned crab...it gives such a great fresh flavor that can tsp be matched by shelved or imitation crab meat), fresh medium shrimp, chopped coarsely, chopped green onions, whites and some of the greens, diced celery (i prefer to peel the outer stalks of the celery first, using a potato peeler - try it sometime...the celery is tender and crispy without all the stringy-ness!), mayonnaise, dried dill weed, two of old bay seasoning, juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper to your taste (if even needed - taste it first)

spinach ala tom, i wanted to add that some cream cheese, sour cream added to this mixture would make a great dip, just add some milk to the cream cheese if needed to make it less thick, just don tsp over do it. i would add after all the other ingredients are cooked., a recipe something like my dad used to make , except he put 2 eggs in it and scrambled it all together, i don tsp do that. i also added a few things to it. of course all you velveeta fans can add that instead of the fresh parmesan., green giant frozen chopped spinach, oscar mayer chopped bacon ( in the yellow plastic pouch in the salad isle of your store) it s really lower fat and easier to use than regular bacon and it also tastes good., a small yellow onion diced, unsalted butter, amount of fresh shredded parmesan cheese for garnish .
