Directions:

Cook the pasta until barely al dente according to package directions. Add the broccoli, and cook for another 30 seconds, or just until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.

Place the pasta mixture in a large bowl. Add the crab meat or shrimp, pepper, and scallions, and toss to mix.

In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients, and stir to mix. Pour the dressing over the pasta, and toss to mix.
