Recipe Introduction

This is what I served my insurance adjuster after Katrina. Before the meal, I was not going to get anything for my roof. After the meal, I got my new roof! This is a pretty easy recipe. I make it only with white lump crabmeat. It might work with the stuff from a can, but I doubt it.

List of Ingredients

1/2 pint heavy cream
4 pimientos, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 large mushrooms, sliced
1 Tbs. fresh chopped parsley
2 Tbs. green onion tops, chopped
1 tsp. Creole seasoning
2 Tbs. Parmesan cheese
1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat


Recipe

Preheat the broiler.

1. Heat the cream in a skillet until it boils. Add all the vegetables and
return to a boil. Stir in the Creole seasoning.

2. Add the crabmeat and toss in the pan to combine with the sauce. Be
careful not to break up the lumps.

3. Divide the mixture into four ovenproof dishes for appetizers, two for
entrees. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and put the dishes
into the broiler until the sauce begins to bubble. Serve immediately.

Serves four appetizers or two entrees.
