This is my partner’s favourite! Crab Alfredo is the best. It’s also one of the easiest and quickest meals you can make. It’s date night worthy and super good even with canned crab! Try adding some shrimp and substitute parsley with green onions. I promise it’s amazing!
When I first read this recipe, I never had any second thoughts! I know my family will love it and I am right! This has become our favourite and one f my go-to for date nights. This recipe is super easy and surely will not break the bank!
