I love working with imitation crab meat. The flavors in this dish are light and simple yet really delicious. I encourage anyone who is sceptical about imitation crab meat to give this dish a try. Last but not least, this dish is very beautiful on the plate. Dig in and enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups imitation crab meat
- 2 cups mixed veggies
- 1/3 pound angel hair pasta
- olive oil
- 1 lemon
- crushed red pepper
- garlic powder
- oregano
- salt
- pepper
To Make:
In a large pan, saute the crab in olive oil on medium high heat for about 6 minutes until it starts to get a nice sear. Season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano and garlic powder.
Add in the mixed veggies and some extra olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano and garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Note: I recommend seasoning in layers, that way the flavors really come together and you avoid over seasoning or under seasoning at the end.
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the angel hair pasta for 6-7 minutes or until al-dente.
Mix together and cook on medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, just until the veggies are tender. Add the angel hair pasta and mix one last time.
Serve immediately. Sprinkle lemon over each dish before serving.
