Calories: 153kcal
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz pouch flake style immitation crab
- 1 8 oz pouch chunk style immitation crab
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced onion
- 3/4-1 cup mayo
- pinch red pepper flakes
- smoked paprika for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Add the chunk crab to a mixing bowl, breaking apart as needed. Shred the flaked crab with a fork and add that to the mixing bowl too. Mix the two together to evenly combine.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl, and stir together until the salad's evenly combined.
- Serve immediately, or cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked parika, if desired.
Notes
- Judge the creaminess for yourself- if it's not creamy enough, you can add more mayo.
- Turn this into a creamy mixed seafood salad by adding some chopped lobster or shrimp.
- If you'd prefer a more indulgent taste, spring for real crab meat.
- If you really want to kick it up a notch, give it a Cajun spin by stirring in some Cajun or Creole seasoning.
- To brighten it a touch, add a little squeeze of lemon just before serving.
