INGREDIENTS:
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

PREPARATION:
Rinse and pick over crab meat, discarding any pieces of shell or cartilage. Try to leave lumps as large as possible.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over low heat; slowly saute finely diced onion, celery, red pepper, and garlic until tender. Whisk egg in bowl; add mayonnaise,
Worcestershire sauce, and Creole seasoning. Combine with sauteed
vegetables and soft bread crumbs, mixing well. Add the crab meat and
