Deviled Crab

Deviled Crab

• 1 cup minced shallot or onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound crabmeat
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 3 tablespoons minced parsley
• 1 sleeve Saltines, crushed (about 4 ounces)
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 stick butter, melted (about 1/2 cup)

Topping

• Equal parts crushed saltine crackers and freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Lemons or limes, for serving

Directions

1. Cook the onions in the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat until they turn translucent, a few minutes. Turn off the heat and let this cool for 10 minutes or so.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add all the remaining ingredients, except for the melted butter and the citrus. Mix well. Preheat the oven to 400F.
3. When the onion mixture has cooled, mix it into the crab mixture. Stuff the mixture into cleaned crab shells or whatever else makes you happy. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffed shells evenly.
4. Combine the additional crushed saltines with the Parmesan cheese and spoon over each dish.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, and serve with wedges of lemon or lime.
