The ingredients in the recipe do not mention garlic nor green onions. Don't know if the green onions are for garnish or taste. Since this was only for 3 people, cut all ingredients in half. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Also added two good shakes of liquid smoke and 5 good shakes of Paul Prudhomme Seafood Magic. Added salt to each ones particular taste. Served with hot garlic and parmesan toast. Very tasty. Probably would be better with real Cajun lump crabmeat but that is $15/lb.
