Not a fan of this chili crab. The sauce was too sweet and the crab was overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this dish.

This chili crab was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the flavor was still great. The crab was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend this dish to anyone who likes spicy food.

I made this chili crab for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The sauce was tangy and sweet, and the crab was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.

Wow! This chili crab was fantastic. The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it with a spoon. The crab was cooked perfectly and the flavors were out of this world. Highly recommend!

This chili crab recipe was absolutely delicious! The sauce was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. The crab was cooked perfectly, and the combination of flavors was simply amazing. I will definitely be making this dish again soon.
