One serving contains 190 kcal.
To make a salad, you must first thaw the crab sticks. It is advisable to do this at room temperature, because the use of a microwave deprives the product of taste. Thawed crab sticks need to be cut into pieces of arbitrary shape.
Hard boiled egg, cut into small pieces.
Shrimp also need to be boiled. If they are peeled, then before cooking they should be thawed, put in boiling water and boil for 2-4 minutes (for royal it takes 5-6 minutes). If the shrimp are unpeeled, then after cooking they are thrown into a colander and cleaned after cooling.
Finished shrimp is cut into small pieces.
The tomato needs to be washed, dried, cut into cubes. In order to make the juice smaller, the diced cubes need to be squeezed slightly.
All prepared ingredients should be mixed in a container with high walls, salt, pepper, add mayonnaise.
