Deviled crab is a really neat recipe because there are so many variations and ways to serve deviled crab. You can serve this dish in the actual cleaned out crab shells for a crabby seafood appearance, topped with Old Bay Seasoning or can serve it in cute crab dishes - whatever you have available. You can use either canned or fresh crab meat for this yummy meal/appetizer.

Here is how you can make deviled crab at home.

Ingredients -

1 lb crab meat
1 small chopped onion
3 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup of milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg, beaten
1.5 teaspoons powdered mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons of flour
hot sauce of choice

Directions -

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease the inside of crab shells or small dishes for the deviled crab.

Combine the bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of butter. The mixture will be crumbly. Set aside.

Saute 2 tablespoons of butter with the chopped onion in a skillet until the onion turns tender. Add the 2 tablespoons of four and stir. Continue by adding the milk gradually and cooking the mixture until it turns thick while stirring continuously. Next, add the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and powdered mustard.

Take the beaten egg and add 4 drops of hot sauce to the egg. Stir and then add the egg mixture to the skillet. Add the crab meat and parsley and place in the crab shells or dishes, depending on how you want to display the deviled crab.

Scatter the bread crumbs on tops of the deviled crabs. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned.

Not everyone lives on the coast, so not everyone is fortunate enough to have fresh crab available right down the street. Because of this, many people who are seafood lovers opt for ordering crab legs online. Through companies like Legal Sea Foods, you can have Alaskan King Crab Legs delivered overnight right to your door. The seafood is guaranteed to be fresh, which is of utmost importance when it comes to seafood, especially crab.

What I like about this company is that you can shop online, which eliminates the hassles of spending gas money, spending the time to travel out, and searching through various grocery stores to find the seafood to your taste. Convenience equals time and time is money! Save yourself the hassle and try ordering online.

This is also a great way to order a special gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special events. Legal Sea Foods also has options of ordering gift cards online so if you aren’t sure what entree someone would like, you can always give the gift card and they can order the seafood of their choice.
