DEVILED CRAB

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 image

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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound lump crabmeat
1/2 cup finely sliced scallions (white and green parts) or fresh chives
1/2 cup tiny dice of fresh celery or fennel
1/2 cup tiny dice of red bell pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup of coarsely crushed soda cracker crumbs
Salt and Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup additional crushed soda cracker crumbs

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. Deviled crab is a rich dish, so you don't want to weigh it down with too much mayonnaise.
  • Be creative with your fillings. In addition to the classic Old Biloxi filling, you can also try other fillings, such as crab imperial, crab Rangoon, or even crab cakes.
  • Serve deviled crab immediately. Deviled crab is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Deviled crab is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste. With its rich, creamy filling and crispy breadcrumb topping, deviled crab is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
