I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this crab spread. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the crab was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

The asparagus and crab are a great combination, but the spread was a little too runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of bread crumbs next time to thicken it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab spread was still too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I made this crab spread for my husband's birthday party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The asparagus and crab are a perfect combination. Next time, I might try adding a little bit of lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
