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.

These tacos were a disappointment. The crab was overcooked and the flavors were not well-balanced.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tacos were still bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
