Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup light cream
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
1 lb dungeness crabmeat, flaked
salt
pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a 10 - 12" skillet combine 3 tablespoons butter and the oil and saute the onion and celery over low heat for 4- 6 minutes or until soft. Add the flour, a little at a time and cook stirring for 3 - 4 minutes. Meanwhile, heat milk and cream in a small saucepan. Add the heated milk gradually to the onion mixture, stirring constantly.
  • In a small bowl combine the dry mustard, Tabasco, Worcestershire, sherry, lemon juice, and parsley. Add this mixture to the onion mixture in the skillet, stirring well. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3 - 4 minutes. Add the chopped eggs and crab. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the mixture between 6 scallop shells or ramekins. Dot them with the remaining butter and cover with the cheese. Place them in a pre-heated 375 F oven for 15 minutes or until they are lightly browned and bubbling. Serve as a first course. Note: This can also be served as a main course by placing the crab mixture in a shallow casserole and accompanying it with Sourdough Bread and a fresh spinach salad!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The crab filling was dry and the breadcrumb topping was too salty. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster. The crab filling was bland and the breadcrumb topping was soggy. I will not be making this again.

This was my first time making deviled crab and it was surprisingly easy. The recipe was clear and concise, and the results were amazing. The crab cakes were perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out delicious. The only thing I do differently is add a bit of Old Bay seasoning to the crab filling. It gives it an extra kick of flavor.
