Imitation crab meat! any ideas/suggestions.

[Ima Loser 197]

I have eaten it right out of the package... At my local food store they sell in reg packages then in individual packages (like string cheese)

I also make a quick family dish: I sautee a shallot, mushrooms and add the crab meat to warm it. I usually add some white wine while cooking the shallot and mushrooms. Then I steam broccoli and mix it all together with some shredded mozarella cheese.< /p>

I just eat this mixture but I serve it to my family over whole wheat Pasta that I toss in a little EVOO and garlic. I used to do this recipie with real crab but then I started using the immitation crab meat and it tastes great too! So you could really use either one!

This is a favorite in my house. My 3 year old LOVES it! He also eats the imitation crab meat right out of the bag. We have to keep it in my house like we do string cheese.

I make a dish by cooking up some spaghetti squash, then sauteing it with some garlic, then I add some frozen stir-fry vegetables, imitation crab and shrimp. I'm not sure the actual nutritional values of it, but it is delicious. It is like a seafood Pasta, but with spaghetti squash instead of pasta.

Hey PeacockMama, no problem! I came up with it myself, but it's too good not to share!

You could try sautéing it with some green onion, garlic, salt & pepper, then add some lite cream cheese to the mix. Use that mixture to fill some wonton wrappers and bake it off to make a crab Rangoon.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it tonight and it was amazing! I didn't have any green onion, so used onion powder instead.

I Used it with cream cheese and scallions and garlic purée like the inside of the crab Rangoon!

I believe that imatation crab meat is made out of Pollack fish. It is really good anyway you want to eat it. Cold or hot, you can make a great crab dip or make a seafood crepe. Any recipie for crab meat can use fake crab.
