    This is going on the table for New Year's Eve.... or maybe they won't last that long. I can even find the crab this time of year! Merry Christmas!

    I was just wondering what to do with a pound of crab meat that I took out of the freezer last night! Perfect and scrumptious appetizer for today's game. Merci for sharing! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

    These sound so yummy right now. I just had shrimp for the first time in a very long time because my BF doesn't like seafood - and I was quickly reminded how much it needs to be in my diet. mmm.
