I'm allergic to corn, so I used peas instead. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any crab on hand, so I used shrimp instead. It turned out great!

The sauce was a little too thick for my liking. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

This recipe was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.
