"My husband loves this dish and can prepare this one himself! Got it out of an ad for Louis Kemp Seafood products. We have used imitation lobster and crab. I bet it would be awesome with shrimp."

Reviews

  1. Very good! An easy and fast stove top dinner. I used 1 lb of imitation crab meat, shredded parmesan rather than romano; 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, drained; rather than a fresh tomato and served it over Vermicelli pasta accompanied with a tossed salad and warm bread. Next time I would butter my noodles; the sauce is thick and chunky, but absolutley delicious! I also tried the sauce before the cheese was added; so if you don't care for the cheeses it calls for, the sauce is still wonderful. A keeper!
     
  2. I've never before given a recipe only 1 star, and I really hated to rate this one so low. However, none of the 6 of us could eat more than one or two bites of this recipe and I had to throw all of it out. I can only conclude that it was the imitation crab that made the dish taste so bad...we all love the other ingredients used. I would make the recipe again to see if it was any better the next time, but my family has threatened me with bodily harm if I ever serve this again.
     
  3. I don't know if this is a true review, because I changed a few items. I thought it would be too rich, so I just used 2% milk rather than the cream. I also used a combo or mozz. and cheddar cheese. When I sauteed the garlic, I was trying to clean out my fridge, so I added regular onion, green pepper, and minced olives. I then mixed the sauce and pasta all together and baked it. I also tossed in a dash or two of cajun seasoning. We all thought it was very good.
     
  4. I thought this was good, but my kids didn't care for it. I think it may have been too rich for them. I will make this again for hubby and I when g'ma has the kids. I really enjoyed the flavors and the creaminess of it. Thank you for posting....Stephanie
     
  5. This was very tasty. The store was out of imitation crab so I used shrimp instead and light cream instead of whipping cream since that was all I had. Served with a nice salad...great meal !!

Tweaks

  1. This dish is tasty and so simple to put together in a flash. I had to make a couple of substitutions, however, because my pantry was low. I replaced the tomato and green onions with 1 cup fresh salsa, which balanced the sweetness of the crab with some heat. (Rojos is my favorite.) If making it again with the salsa, I would also leave out the oregano and add paprika instead. I also used milk instead of whipping cream, which made the sauce less creamy, but a little healthier, as well. I'll definitely make this one again and will be anxious to make it as written next time!
     
  2. this is a big family favorite at our home. Great for those nights when you want something more but just don't have the time. To cut down the fat, I used low fat sour cream instead of the whipping cream and it worked out great. If you need to shave a few more minutes off, I'll use a half a cup of salsa instead of tomato and it gives it an extra dimension to the flavor.
