crab mousse
My daughter-in-law served this to our family one Christmas, years ago. She halved the recipe and made it in a bowl. It was gone in no time. I had forgotten all about it until recently when I was hosting a Mystery Dinner Party that took place on the Mississippi river in 1905 and I made it for the appetizer table. I made it in a fish mold. Again it was a great success.

How To Make crab mousse
-

-
3Add the crabmeat, celery, scallions, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt. Stir gently but thoroughly.
-
4Spoon the mixture into prepared mold and smooth top with spatula or knife. Cover with plastic wrap. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until fire, about 3 to 6 hours or overnight.
-
5When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and loosen edges of the mousse by running a knife around the sides. Invert onto serving dish. The mousse will slip out in a few minutes.
