Crab Risotto
CreamyToday I’m going shopping for some crab legs to make this delicious Crab Risotto for dinner tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I’m headed to the Farmers Market for fresh veggies. Probably some asparagus to add to this recipe. You can use canned crab meat or imitation crab for this recipe if your in a hurry but the results won’t be the same. Always use the freshest ingredients when possible. Besides adding asparagus to this Crab Risotto recipe you can add just about any of your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
