Preparation

Step 1

Add shells to 6 quarts boiling salted water; cook until tender but firm. Drain; rinse with cold water, then drain again. Invert on paper towel-lined plate to cool. Combine crabmeat, shrimp, cheese, mayonnaise, celery, onion and pimiento in medium-size bowl. If mixture seems to dry, add more mayonnaise. Spoon mixture into cooled shells; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Garnish with celery leaves.
