This is a sandwich that I make at least once every couple of months. It's so quick and easy, and so delicious! Cool, sweet crabmeat, crunchy celery and a hint of cajun spice in a creamy mayo, piled onto a bed of lettuce on your favorite bun or roll is just a seafood-lovers delight!

How To Make cajun crab salad sandwich

  • 1
    If using fresh crabmeat, drain and pick over crab for bits of shell; if using imitation crabmeat, use kitchen shears to cut into small bite-sized pieces in a medium bowl.
  • 2
    Add 1/8 cup chopped celery.
  • 3
    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, Louisiana Cajun Seasoning and/or Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and a pinch of salt. (You may use more cajun/creole seasoning, if desired; just be aware of the saltiness and the heat of the seasoning.)
  • 4
    Add to crabmeat; stir gently to combine.
  • 5
    At this point you may smear your chosen bread with softened butter, or olive oil, and lightly toast in a toaster oven, place buttered side down in a medium-hot skillet to toast, or just leave it untoasted, your preferrence.
  • 6
    Place lettuce on bun, then spoon on the crab mixture and add the top. Serve. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
