Seafood Pasta Salad with Shrimp and Crab

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
2. Add the 16 oz pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it remains firm (al dente).
3. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse immediately under cold water until completely chilled to stop the cooking process.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning until the mixture is smooth.
5. Stir the 1/4 cup chopped dill, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper into the dressing.
6. Place the chilled pasta, 1/2 cup diced celery, and 1/4 cup minced red onion into a large mixing bowl.
7. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until every spiral is coated.
8. Add the 1 lb shrimp and 8 oz lump crabmeat; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the seafood into the pasta until evenly distributed.
9. Cover and refrigerate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
