- 3 cloves Garlic (Use fresh garlic for best taste.)

Instructions
How to Make Seafood Stuffed Shells
- Step 1: Boil the jumbo shells in salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and cool them under cold water to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, blend the chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab, ricotta, Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Step 3: Generously fill each cooled shell with the seafood mixture, packing them well.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the cream with a splash of Grape juice if using. Pour some of this mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Step 5: Place the filled shells in the baking dish, open side up. Drizzle with the remaining cream mixture and sprinkle with extra Parmesan.
- Step 6: Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until heated through. Remove foil for the last few minutes to brown the top.
