For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce while it simmers. Fresh crabmeat can be used instead of canned for a more luxurious experience. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your personal spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the dish.

Oct 16, 2023The spice level was perfect for me, but my family thought it was a little too hot. I'll reduce the red pepper flakes next time.
