Deviled crab is one of the great traditions of the Lowcountry. Unfortunately, due to the many more-bread-crumb-than-crab, freezer-burned versions out there, most people turn their noses up when they think of it. Bad deviled crab is really bad. In a mixing bowl, place the crabmeat, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.

As with crab cakes, the best deviled crab is heavy on the crab and light on the filler. Historically you'd serve your deviled crab in its own shell, but if you don't have them or this somehow skeeves you out, use shallow, oven-proof bowls or ramekins. As you may be able to tell here, I am using our local Dungeness crab, but any crab will do. You can order little tin crab shell trays on Amazon to make them in or use real crab shells if you are fortunate enough to have them.
