Garden Seafood Rotini Salad
Ingredients :
• 2 boxes tri-color rotini
• 3 bags large uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 packs crab meat
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 packs cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, chopped
• 1 large bottle Olive Garden Italian dressing
• Salad Supreme seasoning, to taste
• Old Bay seasoning, to taste
• Complete seasoning, to taste
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
How to Make It:
1. Season and Sear the Shrimp
Season the shrimp with Old Bay and Complete seasoning to taste. Melt the butter in a skillet and gently sear the shrimp until pink and opaque, then reserve both the shrimp and the seasoned butter.
2. Prepare the Rotini
Cook the tri-color rotini in salted water until al dente. Drain well and cool enough that the pasta will not wilt the fresh vegetables.
3. Ready the Crab and Vegetables
Season the crab meat lightly to taste. Slice the green onions, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cucumber into bite-size pieces.
4. Combine the Salad
Place the rotini, shrimp, crab meat, green onions, cucumber, and tomatoes in a large pan or serving bowl. Pour in the reserved shrimp butter and the Italian dressing, then fold gently.
5. Balance the Seasoning
Sprinkle in Salad Supreme seasoning and add more Old Bay or Complete seasoning as needed. Chill before serving so the dressing settles into the pasta.
