Evelyn’s Extra-Deluxe Seafood Pasta Salad & Crust-Less Pumpkin Pie

Hello, Darlings

Hey, I’m back with a delicious update to the recipe I named, ‘My Deluxe Seafood Salad’. 

I admit that I went a little crazy with the ingredients and added additional seasoning, nuts, crushed red pepper, pasta and some remoulade. Out of necessity, I also used colossal size shrimp instead of the usual medium size ones. The whole baby clams were replaced with imitation crab flakes, and the sweet onion was replaced with green scallions. What was omitted was the dry mustard and gumbo file.

Like the original recipe, this one is filled with wholesome goodness. I will serve it with a side of baked beans, cooked spinach, buttery biscuits and for dessert, slices of Crust-less Pumpkin Pie with whipped topping. However, you can add whatever sides that you desire. 

Oh, as the title states above, I named this recipe. ‘Evelyn’s Extra-Deluxe Seafood Pasta Salad’.
