I can smell the sea salt already.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re going to Florida this summer and I can’t wait to see what all I can find made with sea shells. Call me crazy but I would love to come back with some little sea shell salt and pepper shakers. I remember going to Florida with our grandparents when we were young and looking for a souvenir to take back to our parents. Back then there was everything under the sun made with shells. I think a set of shakers would look so cute on the table when serving seafood, right along with my Peaugeot lighthouse salt and pepper grinders.<\/p>\n

I’ve been trying to come up with kids craft ideas for the beach vacation with all our family. After searching Pinterest and other sites I have come up with some really cute ideas for the little guys to make. I’m hoping when they need a rest from the sun, they can enjoy “craft time with Gran”. There are several crafts I want to make using shell — pasta shells that is.<\/p>\n

So that got me thinking about this recipe I did years ago from Mable Hoffmann’s Finger Foods book.  Back then I was reading every book I could about finger foods because that was the types of food I loved making for cocktail parties I catered.<\/p>\n

I did this recipe once for a Houston Medical Alliance auxiliary party and I came up with this sauce to drizzle over the shells to kick them up a notch. (Oh no, that sounds like Emeril.) It’s delicious, so I’m giving you the sauce recipe too. You could easily serve this recipe hot but I enjoy it cold just as well and it makes an easy dish you can just pick up to eat at a party.<\/p>\n

Thanks to my bunco group for being my guinea pig, again.<\/p>\n

My sun-dried tomatoes were not packed in oil so I drizzled some oil over the chopped tomatoes and let set for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Cook pasta shells al dente and stuff with filling. You can drizzle with some of the red pepper sauce or chopped parsley to garnish.<\/p>\n

I just happened to have a shell shaped platter to hold my stuffed pasta shells.<\/p>\n

Sauce ingredients. I roasted the red pepper over my range top, sweated it in a paper bag and then pureed with the other ingredients.<\/p>\n
