Tips: you see here it says to make your own season salt, there are many variations of season salt personally I skipped this step altogether as most call for garlic powder so it just depends on what mood I am in if I want some onion powder or salt I just toss in a bit so on and so forth most of the time all I add is the garlic powder feel free as always to tailor it to your liking I will post some salt recipes I have found. This season blend can also but used on chicken, fish, pork ect.

Blend thoroughly, put into a shaker and use in place on other seasonings #1- Lawrys #2- 6 tablespoons salt 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon marjoram 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or garlic powder 2 1/4 teaspoons paprika 1/4 teaspoon curry powder 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/8 teaspoon dill weed 1/2 teaspoon celery salt #3- 2 tbsp. salt 2 tbsp. paprika 1 tsp. ground pepper 1 tsp. onion salt 1 tsp. garlic salt

CRAB MUFFINS



CRAB MUFFINS image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg. English muffins, split each muffin
1 pkg. artificial crab, like Louis Kemp Crab Delights - kind of pull it apart so it's kind of flaky and shredded, don't leave it in the whole chunks
3/4 stick butter, melted
8 oz. Cheez Whiz
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Steps:

  • Mix butter, cheez whiz, mayo and seasonings until smooth then mix in crab. Spread on muffins. Freeze at least 30 minutes. Broil until bubbly. I kind of mix up the quantities of the ingredients. Sometimes I add more crab, sometimes less butter, sometimes more cheez whiz...It always works out. You just don't want the mixture to be runny - just a nice spreadable consistency. I usually make up a batch and wrap them in pairs in wax paper, then again in foil and just store them in the freezer to keep on hand. They cook best when frozen so when I want some I just take them out of the freezer and pop them in either the toaster oven or oven and broil until they're browned and bubbly. Also, you're supposed to cut them in quarters before you freeze them since they're appetizers but since I eat them as a meal I just keep them whole. If you keep them whole, sometimes I take them from the freezer, unwrap them and defrost them just a bit in the microwave before I broil them. Since they're whole and frozen sometimes they're broiled before they're thawed all the way in the middle.
