That sounds really yummy.

I like to add crab or imitation crab to equal parts of cream cheese and then fill won ton wrappers. Bake these at 350 until golden brown and serve with hot mustard, soy sauce, and/or sweet & sour sauce.

Where do you find the won ton wrappers at?

My grocery (Fry's) has them in the refrigerated health food area, next to the soy products. 

 All these Crab recipes sound so good, I'm getting hungry

I have a bunch of real crab and was going to make stuffed mushrooms with it, I also have mayo and breadcrumbs can you make a suggestion.

try making crab cakes with it or mixing it with mayo celery a little onion and dijon and putting it on a roll

Real Ceviche:  In a medium size meat loaf glass dish,  cut about 4 to 5 Orange Roughfy  fillets into 1/2 inch cubes, put them in the glass dish first.  Next squeeze about 8 to 10 lemons or limes over the fish, until the liquid barely covers the fish. (the juice will cook the fish).  Next cut one bushel of cilantro (without the stems).  I like to fold the leaves (bushel) in half and with a sharp knife cut the cilantro into shreds, that will go on top of the fish (spread evenly).  Next goes the tomatoes, cut about 3 to 4 into 1/2 inch cubes.  That will be spread evenly over the cilantro. (we're almost done).  Next comes the Serrano or jalapeno pepper without the seeds (1 or 2 according to taste).  Cut the peppers as small as you can.  That will be spread over the tomatoes.  And last are the Avacados, I cut enough to cover the whole glass dish. Use avacados that are not too hard or too soft.  Cut them in 1/2 inch cubes.  And last squeeze one or two lemons or limes over the avacado to keep it from turning brown.  Wrap the glass dish with saran wrap and put in thr frig over night.  in the morning, with a spoon mix everthing together.(give it a good mix).  Try them with Frito Scoops, You're going to get hooked. If anyone trys this, let me know how it was.  Thanks Joe O. 

i use fake crab all the time in place of the "real" stuff.; esp at <$2/lb.   I simply cannot afford the real stuff and do NOT like the canned stuff.  Some added ideas:

pasta w/ chop & saute veg (spinach, brocoli, mushrooms, julianne carrot stirps, bell pepper) & can/jar sauce of choice

crab " slaad on a toasted english muffin topped with a slice of swiss cheese and heated/melted.

paella

salad plate ( w/garlic bread)

jambalya

gumbo (needs okra-aquired taste)

Any seafood recipe can use fake crab as a substitute; shrimp, scallops.....whatever.

Basically, you can substitute the "fake" crab in any recipe for seafood: scampi, salad plate...whatever. 

Our family pasta salad recipe is tangy Italian dressing, rotini, diced tomatoes, cilantro, shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, and imitation crab meat.

From Babette:  I have a delicious recipe for imitation crab !  I make a delicious, creamy white sauce using butter, flour and milk. Stir it continually, or you will get lumps. (Melt butter and add flour a little at a time, then small portions of milk, until you 

get a paste) Then gradually add more milk until you get consistency of soft whipped cream. Chop some scallions and parsley.Add to the white sauce with pinch of salt & pepper. Also add chopped green or yellow pepper.  Keep stirring and if it gets too thick, add a little more milk. Add crabmeat and when it's hot, spoon it on top of cooled toast slices with sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce on the side.  It's delicious !!  Enjoy !!

 I think it's good on a plain green salad as well.

 Have you ever made sushi?  California Rolls can be made with imitation crab. 

 I don't know if you can get cream cheese but here's something we love.  Mix softened cream cheese, minced onions (green onions are really good), imitation crab, and well-drained canned crushed pineapple or finely chopped fresh, then put mixture into jalapenos that have been seeded and membrane removed.  We cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise.  Then wrap in half a slice of bacon (the cheaper thin slices are best because they stretch better) and grill or broil in the oven until the bacon is done and crispy.  Those are addictive and great for parties or summer cookouts!

 A pasta salad using imitation crab, boiled shrimp, macaroni or shell pasta, mayo, Dijon mustard, and a little sweet pickle juice is also very good.
 

Hi Alliedawn

I know you posted a few weeks ago, I'm just catching up. I have to tell you this recipe is such a great idea. I can't wait to try it. You're a genius.

I too know this was posted a while back, but I just joined as well. I like to take imitaton crab and eat it with cocktail sauce (ketchup and horseradish). It makes a great snack or appetizer!

I like to make big chef's salads with the imitation crab.  You can put on cheese, hard boiled eggs, crab, shredded carrots, ham, etc and other salad fixings.  Don't forget some good croutons and dressing!  This big salad can become a nice summery meal.  Good luck!
