Pick through the crabmeat to remove bits of cartilage etc.

(Make sure the green onions, celery and bell pepper are very finely chopped because they won't cook in the oven and you don't want their raw texture to be intrusive.)

7
Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and Tabasco sauce to taste.
8

Variation instead of combining crabmeat vegetables with the butter and cream combine it with 3/4 cup of evaporated skim milk mixed with 1 teaspoon dry mustard rather than the Dijon mustard.
