Spicy Crab & Avocado Salsa

Game day brought great things – not just for the Seahawks, but for uuuusssss.

Yea, you!

Becauseeeee, I’m pretty sure you’re going to love this.

Low-fat, very spicy and FABulous – with only 1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise!

And serranos.  Who doesn’t love serranos?

Scallions anyone?  We’re going to need a few tablespoons of those too.

Now, here’s the important part!  Don’t forget to invite Frank.  It’s the perfect blend of flavor and heat.  It says so right there on the bottle!

And…, I heard Frank always loves a good party.  I like a good party animal.

Now, get ready to get jiggy with it and put the lime in the coconut.

No!!!  Don’t do that.  Put it in the salsa!!!  But, doesn’t it sound like more fun to put it in the coconut?  I’m just sayin’.

But first, you need to squeeze the dickens out of those limes.

Poor little things.  They didn’t have a chance with the lime crusher.

Oh!  And, of course, the decadent crab must make an appearance.  Fashionably late.

See?…it’s all dressed up for the ocassion.  I am lovvvvvin‘ the red!

Gently fold it all together and spoon it into those perfect bite-sized phyllo cups.  You know how I love those!

Perfection.

Just the way we like it.

Enjoy!
