My Aunt Kate spotted this recipe for me. I can't wait to try it! Although the recipe calls for taco shells, I'll probably use warmed soft corn tortillas or tostada shells. From Sunset Kitchen Cabinet.

I didn't like these tacos at all. The crab was overcooked and the slaw was bland.

The crab tacos were delicious, but I thought the slaw was a bit too sweet.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover crab. I had some leftover from a crab boil and these tacos were the perfect way to use it up.

I love the combination of flavors in these tacos. The crab is sweet and delicate, the slaw is tangy and refreshing, and the avocado adds a creamy richness.
