This recipe looks delicious, but I don't have any crab meat on hand. Can I use another type of seafood, like shrimp or lobster?

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crab meat mornay turned out terrible. The sauce was curdled and the crab meat was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was way too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients, and it took me forever to make. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The sauce was not very flavorful, and the crab meat was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the sauce next time.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the crab meat was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less cheese next time.
