Ingredients

1/2 cup bottled clam juice
10 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled,deveined
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion
2/3 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

8 ounces crabmeat (I use Phillips brand from Costco)

Preparation

Bring clam juice to simmer in large skillet over medium heat.
Add shrimp; cover and simmer until opaque, turning once, about 2 minutes.
Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to cutting board; coarsely chop shrimp.
Place shrimp in small bowl.
Boil cooking liquid until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes.
Cool.
Mix onions and next 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend.
Stir in shrimp, cooking liquid and crabmeat.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and chill.
Salad can be made 1 day ahead.
I like to serve mine with pita chips, but you can use any kind of crakers or crostinis.
