Take Care--Beware

I have not made this recipe but after reading it I think directions for cooking of the fresh seafood should be included in this recipe. Should one boil up the seafood? Perhaps grill the seafood? Maybe add salt to boiling water or lemon. Whatever. Directions for the cooking should be included. Someone might it raw-dangerous.

    A cold shrimp and crab salad with pasta, celery, onion, and green pepper. Imitation crabmeat also works well in place of real crab. Can also be made with salmon or tuna in place of shrimp and crab.
