Ingredients

• 1 pound Fresh lump crab meat
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 small Green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully pick through the crab meat to remove any shells and set it aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated in the butter and vegetable mixture.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and optional hot sauce. Mix well until smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold the crab meat into the wet mixture until evenly coated, taking care not to break up the crab too much.

Step 7

Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl and gently fold until combined.

Step 8

Spoon the mixture into individual ramekins or a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mixture is heated through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with additional parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges or crusty bread.
