  • 3 (about 1/3 cup) asparagus spears or 12 snow peas, trimmed and thinly sliced

  • 1/3 cup(s) finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) Old Bay seasoning

    • Place rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler.

    Place asparagus (or snow peas) in a medium microwave-safe bowl with 1 teaspoon water. Cover and microwave until tender, about 30 seconds. Add crab, celery, bell pepper, scallion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce to taste, and pepper; stir to combine.
