Served with a side of parmesan asparagus and the last of our summer limoncello

Was mostly winging it but tried to stick close to these measurements:

  • 1 lb crab meat
  • between 1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • a generous amount of Old Bay
  • parsley
  • lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
