Crab Alfredo
This recipe for crab alfredo was originally going to be pancetta alfredo because pancetta was on sale. Except, when I got to the store I couldn’t find it. (The perils of living in a small town.) So, I improvised… and it turned out to be delicious. It’s a quick and easy weeknight dinner that tastes like you’ve slaved over the stove. I won’t tell. Enjoy.

If memory serves me right I think I slaved over the drive making this one lol. Bet you never thought you would get me eating crab and other creatures from the sea huh. Was pretty good though.
Who doesn’t like crab and shrimp?
