I've made this crab stew recipe several times and there is never any leftovers. It is perfect for cold winter weather.

Crab meat

Paula lives in GA where we have fresh nad/or frozen crab available pretty much year round so we have not used the imitation crab meat but if it is all you have available where you live, it can certainly be used. As for sherry, you can simply omit or use a white wine or apple cider vinegar!
