If you are like me you love seafood. I can't afford the one meal I adore which is crab legs. They cost $12.99 a pound and I won't buy them. Buy a pack of imitation crab meat. Use your favorite seasonings, and add a touch of butter as well. In less than 30 minutes your going to feel like you had a big budget for seafood.

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 20 min

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 4 people

Source: myself

Ingredients:

1 Pkg imitation crab meat
1 cup pasta
2 Tbsp butter
seasoning to taste

Steps:

Add butter to the pan on medium heat. Let it melt then add in one pack of crab meat. Season with your favorite seasonings. Simmer for a few minutes to get everything well seasoned.

Boil your pasta to serve with the seafood. This will curb your appetite for seafood while the crabmeat swells and the seasonings meld.
