The ingredients are simple and flexible, so you can make this when you are inundated by summer produce or you can adapt to what's in season in the fall and winter. Seafood and pasta should be free of excess water. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, cooked seafood, uncooked peas, bell pepper or pimientos, onion and Parmesan cheese. This refreshing salad is always well received, especially in summer. My mother said the recipe just "evolved", because she kept adding ingredients until it tasted right.
