Recipe from: The Crab Place
Servings: 6
1 cup sour cream
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated onion
½ teaspoon salt
dash Tabasco sauce
2 pounds backfin crab meat
¾ cup soft bread cubes
1 tablespoon melted butter
paprika
Combine sour cream, cheese, lemon juice, onion, salt and Tabasco; mix thoroughly. Pour over crab meat and mix lightly. Place in six well-greased individual shells or custard cups. Combine bread cubes and butter; sprinkle over top of crab mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake in a moderate 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Serve with a Beaujolais wine—its light and fruity flavor does not overpower the crab, yet it stands up to the pungency of the Parmesan cheese and lemon.
