Try it served with your favorite risotto. It was published in 1993 in the Atlantic City Press and I've been making ever since. It was originally sent in by Cyril Woburn of Galloway Twp, NJ. Many thanks to Cyril!!!

BEST CRAB IMPERIAL
Got this from my mom's Crab Cookbook that looked like it was written in the 60's. There are many Crab imperial recipes but this one doesn't include mayo. Very delicious atop fish or shrimp or on sliced and toasted baguette.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat 6 large scallop shellswith nonstick cooking spray or, if you prefer, lightly coat a 6-cup au gratin pan or shallow casserole; set aside. Place the crab in a medium-size mixing bowl and set aside also.
- 2. Tear the bread into small chunks, letting them drop into a mini food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Using 3 to 4 brisk pulses, reduce to moderately coarse crumbs. Drizzle the melted butter over all and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. The crumbs should now be moderately fine. Tip onto a piece of wax paper and reserve.
- 3. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne to the processor (no need to wash the bowl or blade), and pulse briskly 3 to 5 times until the parsley is coarsely chopped.
- 4. Add the mayonnaise and mustard and churn until smooth, about 5 seconds. Scoop on top of the crab and toss lightly to mix.
- 5. Mound the crab mixture in the scallop shells or spread evenly in the augratin dish, and scatter the buttered crumbs on top.
- 6. Bake uncovered on the middle oven rack until bubbling and touched with brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- 7. Serve at once, accompanying with a tartly dressed salad of greens. Roasted asparagus spears also make a delicious accompaniment.

- Don't overcook the crab meat. It should be cooked through, but not tough. Overcooked crab meat will be dry and stringy.
- If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Crab imperial can be served hot or cold. If you're serving it hot, bake it in the oven until it's bubbly and hot throughout.
- For a special touch, garnish your crab imperial with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.

Crab imperial is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, succulent crab meat, and rich flavor, crab imperial is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
