So about Recipe #6. My first real disappointment :( I did NOT like this recipe. I used it as an appetizer over the weekend and there were mixed results. Some people liked it, and me and my sister did not. I believe more liked it than not, but it was not for me. Maybe I should have used more FRESH crab but I got it at the deli and maybe I should have used lump crab meat instead of claw meat but i figured there would not be much of a difference and I could not find the lump crab meat. I put in extra mayo after tasting it the first time and not liking it, and it seemed to help. I wish I would have gone easy on the chili paste. Not much of it was eaten. I think the best thing I made all weekend was the homemade tortilla chips. Delicious!
Here it is... Straight from the foodnetwork.com site itself :)
