We live just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay area, so crabmeat dishes are very popular here. This is a new recipe I came across that I think is extra special.

Ingredients

1 pound cooked medium shrimp
3 cups cooked or canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
1 small onion, chopped
1 celery rib, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Leaf lettuce, optional
1 hard-boiled large egg, sliced, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine shrimp, crab, onion and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt and pepper; add to the shrimp mixture and mix gently.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If desired, serve in a lettuce-lined bowl and garnish with egg.
