8
jumbo pasta shells (the stuffing kind)
-
1/2 cup
marinara sauce plus a bit extra for the baking dish
-
1 tablespoon
creme fraiche

1
large basil leaf, chopped

Directions
-
Boil the pasta shells to al dente according to the directions.

Meanwhile make the breadcrumbs. Whiz the bread in the processor until it is a coarse crumb. Saute over medium heat with the butter and garlic until just crisp.
-
Preheat the oven to 375. Mix together the 1/2 cup marinara, creme fraiche, basil, parsley and orange zest. Add the red pepper if you opt in for spice.

Put a little marinara in the bottom of your baking dish. Fill each shell with a spoon full of the mixture above, a bay scallop, a shrimp, and about a teaspoon of crab meat.

Arrange the shells in the baking dish, then sprinkle the breadcrumb over top. Squeeze a bit of lemon over and bake until the seafood is done (about 20 minutes).
-
Squeeze a bit of orange over and serve!
