Crab Alfredo
 
1 pint half and half
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. cream cheese
1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 - 6 crab legs
 
In a saucepan melt butter. When butter is melted add the cream
cheese. When the cream cheese is softened add heavy cream and the
Parmesan Cheese. Add Garlic Powder, and stir well. Simmer this for
15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt
and pepper. Once again, a true person would not use the cream
cheese, but it does help thicken the sauce up, without much difference
to the taste, you can omit it, just be prepared to stay with the
sauce a little longer to thicken it. Boil crab legs as you normally
would in boiling water, crack open legs, lightly paper towel the
meats so that you get the excess water off, and place the meats on
top of the alfredo sauce and pasta.
