Prep Time: 15-20 min

This is a dish I’ve been waiting to do for a while.  I use Alaskan Snow Crab that I buy in bulk and keep in my freezer.  I also like to always have some lump crab meat on hand from the local restaurant supply store.  Once your prep is done the dish comes together quickly and it’s a great dish to have done ahead of time if you’re planning a party.  Hope you enjoy.
