While looking for something i could make as a last minute dish I saw this recipe and was inspired to use ingredients I had on hand — I had no lump crab or tropical fruit cups. I did have bay shrimp, melons, and jalapeños. So, I made a “shrimp salad with melon salsa” and served it up in some colorful parfait glasses. It turned out great and my guests loved it so much they wanted my recipe! Thanks for the inspiration, Sandra! You rarely disappoint!!
You didn’t give the recipe for the tropical fruit cup. Please do this sounds good, but can’t make it without t h e recipe. Thanks.
I always loved seafood, and this dish brought me alot of wonderful memories…..thank you Sandra Lee for teaching me how to make this salad :
Okay, I made this for my Semi-Edible blog and couldn’t eat more than two bites. I have never had a problem eating her food (despite how semi-edible it was), but this was bad. The crab is plain and then topped with sour cream….bland. The “mango salsa” is a fruit cup! Then you put the salsa on shredded lettuce?!? ridiculous.
For more of a review on this super simple russipe and more of Aunt Sandy’s delicious creations check out my blog Semi-Edible: http://semi-edible.blogspot.com/
would love to make this, but where are the mangos>> is that the fruit cup??
I have made this dish a couple of times and everyone loved it.
This dish is as smokin’ hot as Sandra Lee!!!! No, the peppers aren’t too hot, it just tastes so darn good!
Will you marry me??? : )

I served this in cute little martini glasses at a holiday party and it was a big hit! Highly recommend!
