   I used to be a seafood manager for a grocery chain!! You can either eat it cold in a salad, use it for dipping with cocktail sauce. Sautee it in butter, does not need to cook long as it is already cooked. If you want it heated up I have used it with fettucinni alfredo. Hope this helps!!

   I don’t think I have ever heated “Krab with a K” – I usually make seafood salad with it – shred the krab meat and add mayo, Old Bay seasoning, sliced green onions, and peas. Salt and pepper to taste. Use this seafood salad to top a regular green salad or put some on a hoagie roll for a seafood sandwich.

   For me, I love to use a saute pan with some melted margarine, add diced green onion and some fresh mushrooms, add 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1/4 heavy cream, and serve it over either rice or angel hair pasta. The great thing is that imitation crab really holds it’s flavor.
   Another good recipe is to chop the crab, add mayo, pepper, tarragon, and garlic powder (the spices to taste; I tend to overdo spices!), add chopped green pepper and crumbled crisp-fried bacon, and have a sandwich on a good bakery bun (rye buns are fabulous). Hope these help!
