Notes

Feel free to substitute crab with lobster or scallops and angel hair pasta with spaghetti or vermicelli. For a lighter version, swap crème fraîche for heavy cream or Greek yogurt. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage; revitalize with cream or water when reheating.
