Answer 4

For imitiation crab meat, my personal opinion, is that it doesn't cook well.

I suggest a crab salad - for sandwiches, sushi (california rolls), salad or a pasta salad as the recipe below.

Dilly Crab Salad

"This summery seafood salad is a sure favorite. For a tasty variation, add peas, pimentos or green onions to the colorful mixture."

Original recipe yield:
8 - 10 servings

INGREDIENTS
1 (16 ounce) package medium shell pasta
2 (8 ounce) packages imitation crab meat, flaked
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dill weed

DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions; rinse in cold water and drain. Place in a large bowl. Add crab.
