Here is a recipe that we picked up in Hawaii. Coconut milk gives it an authentic island flavor.

Directions:

Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain and squeeze water out of spinach with paper towel.
In a saute pan melt butter and cook onions until translucent.
Add spinach and mix well.
Slowly add coconut milk and heavy cream. If it gets too thick add more cream
Take off of heat and gently mix in crab meat.
Season with salt and pepper, then serve with pita chips, crackers or crusty bread
