Yum! I made this for a light dinner (Hubby and Little Miss (DD)) ate a red meat dish. I don't eat red meat, so I wanted to make something quick and tasty, this dish was perfect, I used can crab meat and kept to the recipe. This was fabulous, the flavours all blended well together, Thank you JustJanS for your contribution to the Australia and New Zealand Food Trail (C)

Yummy! I used fresh dungeness crab and followed the directions exactly. So easy. Served this with a nice glass of chardonnay. Perfect light dinner!

I made this as written but used imitation crab as that was all I had. I can imagine how much better it would be with fresh crab. I will be making it again with the right stuff. Thanks for sharing.
