YUM! These were SO good... we used imitation crab meat (Tom is allergic to real crab) and whole wheat muffins. YUM! The kids thought it was a little too spicy so next time we'll sprinkle it on top of those for us instead of putting it in the mix. VERY yummy! A keeper!

Terrific broiled sandwiches. I added bell pepper, celery and lemon juice as suggested by Seafood Salad #164809.

Wonderful!!!! These little babies were awesome! I made them as written and wouldn't change a thing. These would be great on a hot summer day since you only need the broiler for about 5 min. I served them with Cabbage/Leek/Potato Soup #111758 which is just about my favorite soup!! Thanks ellie, I will be making these again and again!!

Excellent recipe!! I did not have english muffins, so I prepared on french bread. I used fresh crabmeat and my own home-grown tomatoes. Followed the recipe exactly and will definitely make this one again. Next time I will use more cayenne and a little hot pepper sauce. Thank you!!
