Crab Stuffing
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

I've tried several crab stuffing recipes and like this one best.

1 tablespoon butter
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs [about 12 crackers]
1 pound crabmeat, picked over

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook green onions, green pepper and garlic powder until peppers are limp. Place in mixing bowl and add mustard and cayenne pepper to sauteed vegetables, mix well.

Add mayonnaise, the beaten egg, parsley and lemon juice; mix well. Gently fold in the cracker crumbs, then the crabmeat. If the mixture seems a little dry, add a tablespoon or so of heavy cream.

Use in Crab Stuffed Shrimp (enough to stuff 22 - 24 jumbo shrimp), Crab Stuffed Flounder w/ Shrimp Sauce, or any other recipe that calls for a crab stuffing.
