These make fantastic appetizers before a larger seafood feast, or, if you use big Dungeness crab shells as I do here, a light supper all by itself. You can refrigerate the mixture for a few days beforehand, and you can freeze the stuffed crabs, well wrapped, for a few months.

DEVILED CRABS
Deviled crabs are a quintessential Gullah dish similar to crab cakes. I like to serve them in cleaned crab shells for a pretty presentation. Ask your local fishmonger for the crab shells-they may sell them. Or, you can bake the deviled crab in small ovenproof dishes, too.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pick through the crabmeat to remove bits of cartilage etc. In a mixing bowl combine the crabmeat with the scallions, celery and bell pepper. (Make sure the green onions, celery and bell pepper are very finely chopped because they won't cook in the oven and you don't want their raw texture to be intrusive.) In a separate mixing bowl combine the mustard with the butter and cream. Combine the crabmeat mixture with the melted butter and cracker crumbs. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and Tabasco sauce to taste. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with additional cracker crumbs and bake for half an hour until the top has browned.
- Variation instead of combining crabmeat vegetables with the butter and cream combine it with 3/4 cup of evaporated skim milk mixed with 1 teaspoon dry mustard rather than the Dijon mustard.
