Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller is a cooking show that's all about fast, easy and delicious meals that busy people can make any day of the week. In season 2, episode 4, Robin is preparing a meal with quick-fix crab fest recipes that are perfect for a special night in.

Robin starts by sharing her recipe for crab cakes that are made with panko bread crumbs, Dijon mustard, diced red pepper, and scallions. She notes that using panko bread crumbs gives the crab cakes a crispy texture, while the Dijon mustard gives them a tangy flavor. Robin recommends serving the crab cakes with a simple salad of mixed greens and a lemon vinaigrette dressing.

Next, Robin prepares a dish she calls "crab-stuffed mushrooms." She explains that the recipe is a twist on the classic stuffed mushroom appetizer, but with a crab filling. Robin stuffs Portobello mushrooms with a filling made from crabmeat, cream cheese, green onions, and Parmesan cheese. She bakes the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are tender.

For her third dish, Robin makes a creamy seafood pasta dish with a tomato-based sauce. She starts by cooking angel hair pasta until it's al dente. While the pasta is cooking, she makes the sauce by sautéing onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in olive oil. She then adds canned tomato sauce and half-and-half to the pan, and lets the mixture simmer for a few minutes. She adds cooked shrimp and crabmeat to the sauce, and tosses it with the cooked pasta. She garnishes the dish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

The final dish Robin prepares is a light and refreshing crab salad. She mixes jumbo lump crabmeat with diced red bell pepper, cucumber, and celery. She adds fresh dill, lemon juice, and a little bit of mayonnaise to the crab mixture, and seasons it with salt and pepper. Robin serves the crab salad on a bed of mixed greens and garnishes it with lemon wedges.

Throughout the episode, Robin shares helpful tips and tricks for cooking with crab, such as how to pick out the freshest crabmeat and how to store it properly. She also emphasizes how easy it is to prepare crab dishes at home, even if you've never cooked with crab before.

Overall, Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller season 2 episode 4 is a must-watch for anyone who loves crab and wants to learn some new quick-fix recipes to enjoy at home. Robin's dishes are easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for a special night in with loved ones.
