I love this recipe! I've made it several times, and it's always a hit. I usually use imitation crab meat, which works just as well as the real thing. I also like to add a little bit of chopped onion and garlic to the crab mixture for extra flavor. Th

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. I've found that using fresh crab meat makes a big difference in the flavor. I also like to add a little bit of Old Bay seasoning to the crab mixture for extra flavor. Another tip: be sure

My family loved this recipe! I didn't have any asparagus on hand, so I used zucchini instead. It turned out great! The crab and zucchini were a delicious combination.

I've tried this recipe several times now, and it always turns out delicious. The crab and asparagus pair perfectly together, and the quesadilla is a great way to enjoy them. I especially love dipping the quesadilla in sour cream or salsa.
