Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes.

Seafood Pasta Salad

I love seafood. IT Guy? Not so much. But I don't let his weird  (and by weird I mean he doesn't like seafood. What's with THAT?) food habits keep me from doing what I want to do. And this pasta salad is what I wanted to do and I'm glad I did because it was GOOD! I used imitation crab meat but the real deal would be wonderful. I had some frozen cooked shrimp that I threw in that were perfect. This is easy and delicious!

Seafood Pasta Salad




12 ounces pasta ~ cooked and drained (I used penne)
8 ounce package imitation crab-meat
2 cups frozen cooked shrimp
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sugar
4 green onions ~ diced
1 - 2 stalks celery ~ chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley

In a large bowl, stir together the buttermilk, mayo, sugar, lemon juice, lemon pepper, garlic powder and seasoning salt.

Add the crab, shrimp, onions and celery.

Stir together then add the cooked pasta and mix gently to combine.

Chill for several hours or overnight.

Sprinkle with dried parsley right before serving.
