Seafood Pasta Salad

I'm putting this one on because I have it memorized and I love it and I need to try a post because blogger is being very frustrating.

1 bag of corkscrew pasta
1/2 lb. salad shrimp (regular will work too but be kinda big)
1/2 lb. imitation crab
1 small head of broccoli
1/2 small red onion
A few carrots
Practically a whole regular jar of mayonnaise (if you get the Lite version it is not good!)
Salt and pepper to taste

Chop of the crab or break it into small pieces with your hands. Chop the onion, broccoli and carrots. Run water over the shrimp so it's clean.

Cook the pasta to aldente (usually about 6-8 minutes, look on the bag). For the last two minutes of the cooking, add the broccoli so that it will cook a little. When you strain the pasta, run cold water over it for a couple minutes so that it does not continue to cook.

Add it all together in a BIG bowl. Then start adding mayo until it's nice and covered. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you are making the pasta for later, you probably want to add more mayo than you'd think is necessary because it soaks in.
