- Don't throw away the shell, it will be used later but you can discard this step if you don't want to stuff each crab with the salad.
- You can also buy frozen crab meat but you should steam it first before combining with the rest of the ingredients.
- Flake the crab meat and put in a bowl. Combine and blend well with tomatoes, spring onions, celery, pickle relish, mayonnaise, chili sauce, salt and pepper.
- Fill each crab shell with the salad filling and arrange a bed of lettuce then place the stuffed crab shell on the lettuce.

- Chill first then serve.
