Poor Man's Lobster Newburg

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"This rich and creamy lobster dish can satisfy a seafood lovers palate, without breaking the bank. I bake this in a pie plate and serve alongside of steak, rice and cole slaw; a delicious, cheaper version of "surf and turf". Can be easily served as a main dish."

I'm sorry....my family and I thought this was quite a disgusting dish. I followed the recipe exactly....it definately lacks flavor. I will not make this again.

This was really tasty. I used regular surimi, and halved the recipe. I also used a mixture of crushed garlic cookies (really, they're actually good) and panko crumbs and butter. My husband loved it, and it's a definite do-again!! Thanks for a yummy side-dish!!
