Crab Meat Au Gratin image

I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast and my father loved to fish, crab and shrimp when he had time off. We are of Cajun decent, so I am privledged to have a lot of wonderful recipes passed on from my family and friends. This is a wonderful dish. I make it in small dishes and freeze the extras to have on hand.

This was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese sauce.

This was easy to make and very flavorful. I used imitation crab meat and it was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The crab was cooked evenly. I also grated some Parmesan cheese on top before baking and it gave it a nice golden crust.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I added some Old Bay seasoning and it was much better.
