Chopped garlic say 3 cloves in melted butter,then add crab to heat and serve on crackers. So easy and very rich.

I have made crab cakes with fake crab, and they were very good. Just follow a crab-cake recipe from the internet or your favorite cookbook. Another favorite "recipe" of ours is seafood salad, a tossed salad from the grocery with fake crab added. There's no cooking required with that one--it's our go-to recipe when I have time to go to the store on my way home from volunteer work, but no energy or time to cook.

You can make crab salad - delicious. Flake or cut up imitation crab. Add chopped celery. Add small amount of chopped onion. Mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste. Chill two hours. Enjoy

We like the taste of imitation crab. One of our local stores sells packages of it for $1.00 for a 12 oz. or so package.

I purchased an 8 oz. pkg. of refrigerated imitation crab meat. Could any advise me on a quick and simple recipe to use this? Doesn't matter, could be appetizer, salad, lunch, or dinner.

Has anyone used imitation crab to make crab cakes? And, also, do you have a good recipe to make the crab cakes with the imitation crab?
