1 lb. dry pasta (I usually use bowtie)
12 - 16 oz. imitation crab, torn into small pieces
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (I use Lawry's)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 Tbsp. sugar (optional, good with or without)
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 10 to 12 minutes (or according to package directions).
Rinse with cold water, drain and set aside.
In a very large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, buttermilk, onions*, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings.
Whisk together until well combined.
Add the pasta and toss until well coated. It can be eaten immediately but it's really better if you cover and chill it for a few hours or overnight.
