by Crab-O-Licious.com
This Crab and Cream Cheese Stuffed Shells recipe makes for an easy to do and excellent appetizer for any special occasion...
Directions: Cook the pasta shells according to the package, drain, and rinse in cold water. Let them cool down to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayo, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and peppers. Gently stir in the crab meat and onions. Stuff the shells with about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in each. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Makes about 3 dozen Crab and Cream Cheese Stuffed Shell Appetizers. These are best served cold, but you can easily place them on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and bake them at about 275 degrees for 10-15 mintues till warm, too. You don't want to over-bake them, though, so do keep an eye on them and don't heat the oven over 275. You just barely want to warm the shells with the mixture. Check out more Crab Meat Recipes, here!

Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
