List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, grated
3 celery stalks, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Salt and white pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
Lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
2 cups total white she-crab meat and roe
1/2 cup sherry
Garnish
Paprika
Chopped fresh parsley

Recipe



Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and celery until soft. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stir, and
cook 5 minutes. Add all the spices, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and a splash of lemon juice and simmer briefly. Add the cream and
milk and heat almost to scalding, stirring constantly. Add the crabmeat and roe and stir. Heat just long enough to warm through. Add the
sherry and serve at once, garnished with paprika and chopped parsley.
