Deviled Stuffed Crab
I so love stuffed crabs! My Mama almost always made these from freshly picked crabs and then stuffed the cleaned and sterilized crab shells as I have here, but most folks would just make these into patties, or put them in those aluminum crab shells, which is perfectly acceptable!
After coming home with a nice seafood 'to-go' bag that Mom & Dad sent us home with from all that yummy stuff we had for The Blessing of the Fleet well, I had some real crab shells, so I sure used them!
Just be sure if you're using real shells, to thoroughly clean the shells, cut off the eyes and antennae, rinse them with hot water and boil them for about 10-15 minutes, or bake at 350 for about 10 -15 minutes, to sterilize them. After I sterilized mine, I just stored them in the freezer until I needed them.
This recipe is the standard crab mix with some variations that I use to make crab patties for po'boys, stuffed shrimp, stuffed flounder, stuffed mushrooms and of course, crab cakes. Add a nice mixed garden salad and a green veggie to round it out. If you love crabmeat, but have never had stuffed crab, I do hope that you will try these. They are simply delicious.
