Many thanks to Cyril!!!

Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 6 individual casseroles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces green bell peppers, finely diced (1/4 cup)
2 ounces red bell peppers, finely diced (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon butter (I use 1 tablespoon even when I half this recipe- it gives such a nice flavor)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
salt and pepper
2 lbs lump crabmeat, picked over to remove shells
paprika
lemon wedge, for garnishing

Steps:

  • In skillet over medium heat, saute the peppers in the butter until soft. Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except the crab meat together.
  • Gently fold in crab meat, trying to keep the chunks from breaking up. Do not over mix.
  • Spoon evenly into 6 buttered scallop shells or individual casserole dishes. Sprinkle lightly with paprika (I use Old Bay) Even though it's not in the original recipe, I always put an additional tiny pat of butter on top of each one before I bake them. You just can't have too much butter when you're eating this!
  • Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

EASTERN SHORE CRAB IMPERIAL



Eastern Shore Crab Imperial image

Provided by Jean Anderson

Categories     Food Processor     Shellfish     Bake     Mayonnaise     Crab     Fall

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound lump crabmeat, bits of shell and cartilage removed
2 slices firm-textured white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons curly parsley leaves, rinsed and wrung dry in paper toweling
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground hot red pepper (cayenne)
2/3 cup mayonnaise (use light, if you like)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

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.

  • 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.
