Shrimp and crab meat salad
Description
Ideally, fresh or canned crab meat should be used to prepare a shrimp and crab salad. If you'd like to treat yourself but can't find crab at the store, you can substitute it with imitation crab sticks. The result will still be very delicious. To add a touch of spiciness to the salad, dress it with lime juice and add serrano pepper (or chili).
