Spicy Crab Salad Tapas image

I served these at a party and everyone went wild! These delicious morsels have a crispy flaky outside filled with creamy sweet crab that has a little kick. I used scalloped-edge cookie cutters to cut my pastry, but you can use a small biscuit cutter. -Vanessa Mason, Summerdale, Alabama

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted the crab with cooked shrimp. It was still delicious!

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a success. I love the addition of the avocado, which gives the salad a creamy and rich texture.

This is my go-to recipe for crab salad. It's always a crowd-pleaser and I love that it can be made ahead of time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab salad turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of cayenne pepper I add. Overall, it's a good recipe and I would recommend it to others.

I highly recommend this recipe. It's super easy to follow and the crab salad is packed full of flavor. I served it with some toasted baguette slices and it was the perfect appetizer for a party I hosted. Everyone loved it!
