This recipe was way too complicated. I would not recommend it to anyone who is not an experienced cook.

The squash was a bit undercooked for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

I made this recipe with a few substitutions and it turned out great. I used chicken instead of crab and I added some chopped walnuts.
