My wife really liked this and it made good use of some imitation lobster that would have otherwise been thrown out. I did use about 1.5 times the horseradish. -
Very nice and fresh. The reason for "only" four stars is that in point 6 it says "Stir together lemon juice......" and in the ingredients list there is no lemon juice mentioned. I ended up adding two tbs. Also thought that 1/4 cup salt and sugar would be a bit too much. Used 1 tbs sugar and 1/2 tbs salt in the cookingwater. Will definitely make this again, it's perfect for a hot day.
