Editors Review
This is a great dish because it is really easy to make and it is what many people consider gourmet cooking for the home chef! This Venetian-style Seafood Fettuccini is definitely a winner when entertaining non-meat eaters or seafood lovers. In this dish the prawns get top billing, but there is a lot of crab in there as well, which really gives the dish a boost of flavor. It’s fast, fancy and truly fabulous. This dish is great for any night of the week or even a special occasion.Chef
