12 pieces jumbo pasta shells
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped shrimp
1 cup crab meat, lump
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish suitable for holding the stuffed shells.
- Cook jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add the diced onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, then add the crab meat and mix well to combine.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and parsley, then add the shrimp and crab mixture.
- Fill each cooked pasta shell with the seafood and cheese mixture, arranging them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- Pour heavy cream evenly over the stuffed shells, ensuring each is coated lightly with the cream sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is bubbling and slightly golden brown.
