After seeing A Good Things picture on the Fall PAC 2007 thread of this meal, I had to give it a try. I only had one can of crabmeat so used that plus two cans of shrimp. I also used old bay seasoning instead of the red pepper flakes. We liked it but I don't think it will be something I would make again.

Just an awesome and easy recipe for all you shrimp, crab, and pasta lovers out there. We will be having this again, I'm sure. It was devoured in a hurry. (: Thanks for posting ladywisconsin...my PAC '07 baby.
