The measurements on this recipe are EXTRAORDINARILY off!!!! My first 3 tries with this recipe were all lumpy disgusting disasters. 1 tablespoon of butter to 4 tablespoons (4 Tbs = 1/4 cup) of flour didn't seem to work no matter how slowly I incorporated the flour. In the end, I went with what I know - building a cream sauce requires a roux. A roux is made with equal parts flour and butter (fat). I melted 2 tbs butter and combined it with 2 tbs flour. Once the flour had been cooked for couple of minutes, I SLOWLY added my warmed milk (after measuring the first cup, I just kind of winged the rest of the measurements by adding more until it was a consistency that made me happy). I also added garlic powder for added seasoning oomph with the S & P before incorporating the crab and some shrimp. I give it 2 stars because the creation I came up with inspired by this recipe was wonderful. -
Very good, did have to change it up just a bit due to thickness. All in all though very good!!d
