Ingredients
  • 1 to ½ cups imitation crab meat, chopped
  • 15 mini phyllo shells (already baked)
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons coriander/cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 or 4 shakes of Tabasco sauce
  • splash of fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup chopped tomato (pulp and seeds removed)
Instructions
  1. To make the guacamole, gently combine mashed avocado, garlic, coriander, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and tomato. Add a splash of lime juice and fold in crab meat. Spoon into phyllo shells. Serve immediately or within 15 minutes – no one likes soggy pastry.
Notes
The Culinary Chase’s Note: I had to squeeze the crab meat as it was quite wet. Use a paper towel to help remove any excess water. Pull the meat apart first before chopping. Select avocados that aren’t overly ripe otherwise the consistency will be mushy. Enjoy!
