- 1/4 to 1/3 cup butter
- 3/4 tsp Zatarain's Creole Seasoning
In a medium sauce pan, cook onion, celery, green peppers, and green onions in butter over medium-high heat for
about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in crab meat, bread crumbs, parsley, and seasoning. Spoon into 4 large
crab shells. (note: grease the inside and it will come out easier). Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until top is
golden brown. Garnish with lemon wedge and parsley.

My son was never crazy about spicey
Cajun food, but the stuffed crab was a
dish he NEVER turned down (that and
lobster tails). Last year, we went to
Orange Beach, Alabama and caught
several dozen fresh blue crabs. We
cleaned them and made a gumbo. The
rest, we cleaned and brought home.
Later I made stuffed crabs! The condo
had everything we needed (fishing and
otherwise).
