Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). This ensures your casserole cooks evenly and comes out perfectly golden brown.
  2. Boil water in a large pot and cook the shell pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Add the shredded carrots halfway through.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of celery soup, mayonnaise, milk, cheese, frozen peas, salmon, and onion (if using). Stir until well combined.
  4. Drain the pasta and carrots and gently add them to the creamy mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Top with crushed crackers and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  7. Dust with Old Bay seasoning and garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!
