Directions
Prepare the shells first as the package describes, but add the lemon juice and food coloring to the water. (The food coloring is entirely for fun) Once the pasta finishes cooking, drain it and dunk it into ice water until it is icy cold.

Then, combine the celery, carrots, cranberries, red pepper, and lobster with the mayo. Fold and combine it well.

Rinse the lettuce and cut out the center, white ribs. Chop the lettuce width-wise into thin shreds (about 1/8").

Now, assemble the shells. Place a generous pinch of lettuce into a shell, and then spoon in about 2tbsp of salad mix. Once the shells are assembled, chill them for about an hour to let all of the flavors combine, and then serve.

One serving is three shells.
