I was really disappointed in this dish. I had such high hopes. The flavor was really good but there was just too much liquid. I would suggest you cut the broth in half as well as the half and half. It was very difficult to eat. It was like a running pasta dish. I did spray my pan with cooking spray before sauteing the green onions and the recipe never said when to add the celery salt and pepper so I did it during step 3. The crab and the roasted red pepper were very flavorful and the sauce was also good. The overall dish just was lacking the right consistency. Thanks for letting me try your recipe. :)

I read the previous review and cut the liquids in half and the consistency of the sauce was perfect! It turned out lovely. I was looking for a new and low fat way to use crab and it was really good. I omitted the celery salt and the red peppers bc my kids were eating it, but added some sun dried tomatoes in stead (with oil) and it was really nice! Thanks for a new way for us to eat crab!!!
