Crab Imperial Recipe
Crab Imperial Recipe is a decadent dish made with lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, and seasonings, baked to perfection.
Equipment
- 8 oz Ramekins
- Non-stick Spray
- Mixing bowl
- Rubber Spatula or Spoon
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice a little less than half a lemon
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning + more for topping
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley + more for garnish
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat pre-cooked
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Garnish and Serve with
- lemon wedges
- fresh parsley or chives chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and spray 4 (8-ounce) ramekins with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, old bay seasoning, parsley, and egg. Once this is mixed until smooth and creamy, carefully fold the crab meat into the mixture by scooping from the bottom over the top so that you don’t break up the lumps of crab meat.
- Divide your crab mixture into the ramekins and bake for 20 minutes, until the tops start to turn golden. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and an additional sprinkle of Old Bay and bake again for 5 minutes or until the parmesan cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
