💬 Uncle Dave says... If you like more spice, horseradish can be added. Also, this is good with just crabmeat or just shrimp. Costco has the crabmeat in a 1 lb can that is very good. I think Trader Joe's also carries it. Raw shrimp can be tossed with cumin and lime and grilled before combining with other ingredients.
