I made this recipe as part of our Adopted Recipe Swap. The spread was good, but needs the addition of some Old Bay and perhaps even some cayenne pepper to spice it up a little. Step 4 states to add the green onions, but there were no green onions listed in the ingredients. Also, when to add the dill weed was not listed in the steps, so I added it in when I added the crab.
