Directions
Crab-Asparagus Lettuce Rolls, Can be made small for appetizer or larger for luncheon or serve mix and lettuce cups separately for the diner to put together Entry for RSC spring (chill time 1 hour) , Very healthy, you have my vote, These are absolutely divine! I didn’t have an occasion to make these for, so I cut the recipe in 1/4 just to try Imitation crab meat is preferred in our household and it tasted just wonderful I did however add a bit more cayenne pepper as we like the kick! This one gets my vote for the best appetizer and possibly the best overall dish! Thanks to the creator
