Calling all fans of creamy, cheesy goodness! These Shrimp and Crab Stuffed Shells are gonna rock your tastebuds and become your new go-to dish.

Warning: serious deliciousness ahead, so prepare to be amazed! Even the fussiest eaters won't be able to resist this one!

Ingredients:

• 20-24 jumbo pasta shells
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz lump crab meat
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo pasta shells and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. You want them to be al dente because they'll finish cooking in the oven. Drain and rinse the shells with cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. In a skillet, sauté the shrimp and garlic in a little olive oil or butter until the shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
6. Using a spoon or your hands, carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with the seafood and cheese mixture. Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish, packing them tightly together.
7. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the stuffed shells, and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
9. Let the stuffed shells cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

There you have it, seafood lovers! Throw together a salad and some garlic bread on the side, and dinner is served restaurant-style. Let me know if you try it – you won't regret it!

The combination of seafood with creamy cheese and savory marinara sauce is sure to create a delightful flavor explosion. Plus, baking it all together in the oven gives it that irresistible golden crust. Thanks for sharing this scrumptious dish idea!

Yum, shrimp and crab stuffed shells! I think using a blend of ricotta and cream cheese for the filling could make it extra creamy, though.
