Seafood Salad

I once made the mistake of learning how to make my mother's seafood salad. Now, at every family function it is my assigned dish. For some reason everybody else sucks at making it. I think they put too much mayo in (or not enough) on purpose because they are Lazy babies.

Everybody repeat after me, Nicky's family is a bunch of helpless losers.

But I digress, let me tell you my seafood salad is yummy and truly easy to make. Over the years, I've added a few things from my mother's recipe, probably because I've had to make it so many darn times. In my overwhelming kindess, I deem you worthy to learn it.

Ingredients:

• Miracle Whip
  • 32 oz jar
  • To taste (apx. 3/4 jar)
• 2 or 3 Tomatoes
• 2 or 3 Cucumbers
• 3 Bunches of Green Onions
• 1 pkg. Shrimp (small, salad, or medium)
• Mock Crab Legs (8oz to 12oz or so)
• 1 pkg. Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese (8oz)
• 1 can of cooked chicken
• 1 1/4 Box Medium Shell Noodles
• Salt and Pepper
  • To taste
  • Mom used Krazy Jane's Mixed up Salt

Not Rocket Science

Ok, so you went and bought all the ingredients and are now ready to cook and you've come to the age old question of 'now what'.

Simple directions: Cook noodles, drain, throw them in a big bowl. Cut and Peel vegetables accordingly (in chunks so that picky people who claim to like seafood salad can flick out everything but the noodles); throw them in the bowl. Cut mock crab into chunks and throw them in the bowl. Throw shrimp (which if needed to be drained and rinsed or even peeled was) into bowl. Open your can of chicken and drain (or if you have cooked chicken, cut it up) and, you've guessed it, throw it in the bowl. Throw shredded cheese into the bowl. Salt and Pepper what ever is in the bowl and gob in the mayo. Now mix everything. Cover bowl and chill it in the fridge.

Easy shmeasy.

You may wonder where my mother got the recipe, for all I know it could of been from the back of a mayo jar.
