3 cups medium pasta shells uncooked 1 pound coleslaw mix coleslaw dressing to taste. I used Marzetti coleslaw dressing. Or substitute 1 pound prepared coleslaw for the slaw mix and dressing. ½ cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon sweet onion chopped 1 teaspoon dried dill Old Bay Seasoning to taste 2 cups crab meat chopped (imitation is ok)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook per instructions and rinse and drain well.
Meanwhile, mix the coleslaw mix and dressing (to taste). Add just enough dressing to get the cabbage wet.
Add in the mayonnaise, onion, dill weed and Old Bay. Stir to combine.
Add the pasta to the slaw and stir to coat.
Gently stir in the crab.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
