Blue Crab Stuffing

As many times as I brought my children crabbing at Rockefeller Refuge, Holly Beach, and road side ditches, all I really saw was the crab walking. That makes them easier to catch for this stuffing.

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs crab claw meat
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups crushed rich cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp scallions (green onions)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mix the crab meat with the vegetables and dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the egg, milk, margarine and Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Place the mixture into freshly cleaned natural crab backs, ramekins or a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Variations: Crab with Shrimp - 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 crab meat Crab with Redfish - Use 1/2 flaky fish and 1/2 crab Crab with Crawfish - Use 1/2 crawfish and 1/2 crabmeat
