Okay treegirl, have at it.

You could substitute shrimp,lobster or a combo of all 3.

How's that Chili?

I love to cook and would like to see a recipe thread.

Thanks for posting.

I think substituting real crab for imitation crab would go a long way to enhancing this dish.

What is ponzu sauce? I cook a lot but am not familiar with it.

Ponzu is Japanese. It is a cousin to soy sauce, citrus based.

Treegirl,

Looks like someone started a recipe thread for you.

There used to be a bunch of foodies on hers, but I don't see them posting lately.

Ken2V was one of the more prolific food posters.
