Amazing combination of two classic dishes. It’s a perfect union between Seafood Alfredo and Stuffed Shells. Pasta shells stuffed with a mix of shrimp, scallops, crab and cheese, baked in Alfredo sauce.
I can’t believe all the chilly weather we’ve been having this past week. I’ve actually been waking up to high 50s and it’s been nice 70s while I’m running. Perfect weather. Oh how I wish that it lasts and not just tease us for a week then go back to 90s.
All this cool weather is making me want to make nothing but comfort food every day. These Seafood Alfredo Shells would make a wonderful weekend comfort dinner.
Do I really need to say anything here?
Pictures and the name are screaming “YUM!” And after you make and try these shells, you will be screaming the same thing. You’ve got seafood, you’ve got pasta and Alfredo sauce to top it all off. Mmm-mmm-goodness!

This recipe looks so good, but coming home from the grocery store and trying to get everything prepared, I find myself a little frustrated because these measurements are in ounces and if you aren’t cooking savvy is a little confusing.
even trying to use Google conversions charts it’s difficult and really only gives fluid ounces.
It says to chop the shrimp but not to chop the Scallops….
What I was hoping would be an easily executed has meal us me very confused lol.
