With cayenne pepper and hot sauce (both optional!), this delicious dip doubles up on the heat. Chock-full of crabmeat, this appetizer feels special, yet it only takes minutes to prepare. -Carol Forcum of Marion, Illinois

I personally get frustrated when people have to give their opinions on recipes' ingredients ,,, if you don't care for the ingredients used please keep it to yourself. The imitation crab is made from fish and I find it very good in recipes even though I love the real and fresh crab also.

Have not made this. I just wanted to point out that if the recipe calls for imitation (k) crab, it should be spelled with a "K". I personally don't like the fake stuff.
