We live just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay area, so crabmeat dishes are very popular here. This is a new recipe I came across that I think is extra special. Ingredients:
1 pound cooked medium shrimp |
3 cups cooked or canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 celery rib, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
leaf lettuce, optional |
1 hard-cooked egg, sliced, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, crab, onion and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt and pepper; add to the shrimp mixture and mix gently.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If desired, serve in a lettuce-lined bowl and garnish with egg. Yield: 6 servings.
