Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed Shells:

  • 20 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup lump crab meat (or imitation crab)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Cook Pasta: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil jumbo shells in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine shrimp, crab, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well-blended.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Stir in parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble: Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Stuff each shell with the seafood mixture and place in the dish. Pour remaining sauce evenly over the top. Optional: sprinkle extra mozzarella or parmesan on top for a golden finish.
  5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
