Imitation Crab in Cream Sauce

1 lb. imitation crab
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 cu whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 cup finely shredded Swiss cheese

Break imitation crab up into chunks. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. cook the onions in the butter, stirring occasionally until tender. Stir in imitation crab and salt. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until imitation crab is hot. Mix wine or broth with cornstarch. Stir into crab mixture. Heat to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in whipping cream. Heat 1-2 minutes or until hot. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Serves 6.

This can also be done with shrimp or scallops. It has a creamy, rich taste and is great over noodles or rice.
