There is absolutely nothing like a bomb seafood salad during warmer months. I remember looking forward to grilled meats and chilled pasta salads as a child during summer. This recipe is an ode to those memories.

African American seafood salad is full of soul and flavor . It’s made with extra mayonnaise, and a host of other ingredients that combine to make the best pasta salad you will probably ever have.
