Avocado and Crab Thermidor (Easy Microwave Fix) image

This is recipe #4 from *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & another that gets high marks from me because of my particular fondness for its ingredients & versatility. I modified the recipe slightly w/the addition of Old Bay as I favor using it w/crabmeat. This recipe works well 2 ways: 1) As a starter or a salad course atop a bed of lettuce to serve 8 ... or ... 2) As a main entrée for a luncheon or dinner meal to serve 4. *Enjoy* !

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab. I always have some leftover crab after a crab boil, and this is a delicious way to use it up.
