This was the worst recipe that I've ever tried.  I've tried numerous recipes from Food Network and all were 5 stars & delicious except for this one and I followed the recipe exactly.  The crab needed something more.  I also thought that there was a little too much lemon mixed with the avocado. Very disappointed.
