This looks so good! Which kind of crab are you using, canned or imitation?
ReplyDeleteI want to try this one!
Mrs T - Thanks for dropping by :)
ReplyDeleteGail - I used the Imitation crab and it came out really good, I probably would have used a bit more crab but that's because we LOVE it :)
THanks Sandra for another fabulous recipe!!!!
