Ingredients

For the crab mixture

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your crabs bake evenly and develop a golden crust.
  2. In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and pour it over the crushed cracker crumbs, saving about 4 teaspoons for topping later.

🔥 This is the secret to achieving a wonderfully crispy topping!

  1. Add the mayonnaise, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and dry mustard to the bowl. Mix well until combined.
  2. Gently fold in the crab meat, using a fork to avoid breaking it up too much.

🦀 Keep those lumps of crab intact for the ultimate indulgence!

  1. Generously fill 6 large crab shells (or any oven-safe dish) with the mixture. Sprinkle the reserved cracker crumbs over the top, then drizzle the remaining melted butter for added flavor.
  2. Bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes or until your shells are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy the praise from your friends and family!

Tips for Success

🎉 A squeeze of lemon juice before serving can brighten the flavors even more. 🍽️ Pair with a crisp green salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal experience!
