Pilaff Crab Flambe Recipe


Pilaff Crab Flambe Recipe
An excellent dish, that doesn't have to be served on rice - it can just as easily be the dish you end an evening with, served on toast, or even just by itself. You can easily substitute shrimp or lobster or even scallops for the crab.

This is awesome over biscuits or toast. Skip the pilaf. To make it fancy, I would bake some frozen puff pastry cups and fill with this delicious delightful sinful dish and serve.
