Avocado and Crab Thermidor (Easy Microwave Fix) image

This is recipe #4 from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & another that gets high marks from me because of my particular fondness for its ingredients & versatility. I modified the recipe slightly w/the addition of Old Bay as I favor using it w/crabmeat. This recipe works well 2 ways: 1) As a starter or a salad course atop a bed of lettuce to serve 8 ... or ... 2) As a main entrée for a luncheon or dinner meal to serve 4. *Enjoy* !

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I was skeptical about cooking seafood in the microwave, but I was pleasantly surprised. The crab was cooked perfectly and the avocado was still creamy.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover avocado and crab meat.

This recipe was a total fail. The avocado turned brown and the crab was mushy. I think I'll stick to my old crab Thermidor recipe.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I thought I'd give the Avocado and Crab Thermidor a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The avocado really mellowed out the crab flavor, and the Thermidor sauce was delicious.

The Avocado and Crab Thermidor was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband really enjoyed it. He said it was the perfect combination of creamy and savory.
