Step 1: Prepare the Crab mixture
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are just combined, taking care not to break up the crab meat too much.
Step 2: Preheat and grease
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or individual baking shells with butter to prevent the deviled crab recipe from sticking.
Step 3: Shape and fill
Spoon the crab mixture into the prepared baking dish or fill the shells evenly, making sure each is packed tightly but not overly compressed.
Step 4: Bake your deviled crab
Place the dish or shells in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the deviled crab recipe is heated through.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Let the deviled crab cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the savory delight of this luxurious deviled crab recipe with family and friends.
