This simple crab salad recipe consist of crab meat, tomatoes, celery, spring onion, mayonnaise, chili sauce and spices. It is also garnished with lettuce and sliced hard boiled eggs or lemon slices. The nice thing about this recipe, it’s a little artistic, stuffing each crab shell with crab meat salad mixture for a nice presentation. But the tedious task of removing the crab meat from each crab will make us think twice before making this recipe and a very easy option is to buy frozen or canned crab meat. It’s easier and more practical so we don’t need to fill each crab shell. We’ll just put it in a salad bowl.
