Creamy Crab Imperial

Eric made this dish for me on my birthday this year-he felt he needed to cook for me for once since I am forever in the kitchen.  It was quite tasty... although he had been a little heavy handed with the spice factor.  So today we attempted it again and it was amazing :) It is really rich and heavy... this could actually be two dinners for us, which says a lot, with sides ;)  Next time we may add in a handful of grated parmesan cheese.  Either way, if you love crab, you'll love this!!!





1 lb lump crabmeat (we buy ours at Sam's Club-it's delicious!!!)
3/4 c mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp spicy brown mustard
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c panko bread crumbs
1 tsp paprika
3 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 400 F.  In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, salt, mustard, cayenne pepper, and egg.  Mix well without breaking up the crab meat too much (you want chunks).  In a 2 1/2 quart baking dish, spread mixture.  Lightly coat top with panko crumbs and paprika.  Dot the top with butter.  Bake for 20 minutes.
