We love, love, love this seafood salad recipe too, Donna! Using King Crab style imitation crab and small shrimp gives the salad a meaty texture. Celery and an assortment of bell peppers add crunch and color to the salad. It's quite tasty with crispy lettuce on a toasted bun. This would be the perfect addition to any pot luck, luncheon, or special occasion on your calendar!

How To Make savory summer seafood salad

  • Celery chopped with the green, red and yellow bell peppers.
    1
    Finely chop celery along with the green, red and yellow bell peppers. It is better this way so that each gives just the right amount of taste for the salad.
  • Chopping the imitation crab.
    2
    Chop imitation crab meat and shrimp also if desired.
  • Salad ingredients and seasonings in a bowl.
    3
    In a large bowl, blend together the salad ingredients, with the Old Bay and celery seed.
  • Tossing to add the shrimp and crab.
    4
    Then add the crab meat and shrimp to the bowl. Toss with your hand.
  • Adding the mayonnaise.
    5
    Add the mayonnaise (do not add to much or salad will be runny).
  • Adding Splenda to the salad.
    6
    After mixing all the ingredients together, add the sugar packets. This is done to help with the acidity of the bell peppers and the Old Bay seasoning.
  • Ready to refrigerate the salad.
    7
    Refrigerate for about a half-hour to an hour (just to chill that salad before serving).
  • Savory Summer Seafood Salad on a roll with lettuce.
