SAUTéED BACK FIN CRAB MEAT



Sautéed Back Fin Crab Meat image

You can serve this alone, in little crab shells, or use it to fill crepes. I have used either canned or fresh crab meat for this, and also other types of crab, like jumbo lump or snow crab. It will also work with imitation crab, although I don't use that for health reasons.

I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg dish. Enjoy! This would be great with shrimp as well.
