For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a bright touch. Sprinkle them on top before serving. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick. Real crabmeat can substitute the imitation crabmeat to make the dish more flavorful.
