CAJUN SHRIMP & CRAB WITH ALFREDO SAUCE
My recipe fed four hungry Cajuns. Reminder: Shrimp tends to produce water while cooking. If you do not want a thin sauce, half way cook the shrimp in a separate pot. Then spoon them out into your sauce. If you do not like Shrimp or Crab you can always leave whichever one you do not like out of the recipe. You can also use this same recipe but with Crawfish or Chicken. I baked garlic bread to eat with my dish.

ALFREDO MAUI MAUI WITH CRAB
This is so scrumptious and rich you'd think you've gone to EPICUREAN HEAVEN. Basil accents this entrée with a touch of garlic. Lower in fat as it is prepared with nonfat half and half. I serve this with a medley of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Times are estimated, as I don't clock myself. You can substitute other fish fillets, but never use imitation crab. This recipe just looks busy, but is step by step and actually not that difficult. So read through first and you'll see how simple it is.
