This was something my mom didn't use a recipe for. Mom hated to cook. This one thou she would get a gleeful sparkle in her eyes. Real good with fresh crab but mom would just use canned crab meat .. Usually one of just crab meat one of lump crab. We all enjoyed these and looked forward to dad's business dinners at home as mom was sure to pull out her shells. Always a sign of. These shells. My dad paid dearly for at a restaurant up at the Jersey shore after a long bartering with the Maitre D. when I was a wee kid. Mom HAD to have them for these stuffed shell dinners. 47 years later I use them.
