Put in frig about 1-2 hrs and serve with Tortilla Chips
with cut up limes on the side to squeeze on each chip.
The limes are what set the flavor off.
For and extra twist you can also add REAL crab meat ,but add
it last so you want break it up while mixing

Down here on the third coast we have blue crabs. I'm sure you can substitute whatever crab is available in your area or leave the, out completely. Also is you really need to get fat, buy some white corn tortillas and cut into chip sizes, deep fry until golden brown.


Might not fit into your regular diet, but it's pretty good.

Let me know how you like it.
