CAJUN CRAB SALAD SANDWICH image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounce(s) fresh lump crabmeat or imitation crabmeat
1/8 cup(s) chopped celery
3 tablespoon(s) mayonnaise (preferrably dukes brand)
1 tablespoon(s) miracle whip salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon(s) louisiana cajun seasoning or tony chachere's creole seasoning
1 pinch(es) salt
4 - hamburger buns, croissants, or lobster roll buns
4 - lettuce leaves, washed & dried

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Add 1/8 cup chopped celery.
  • 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.)
  • Add to crabmeat; stir gently to combine.
  • 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.
  • Place lettuce on bun, then spoon on the crab mixture and add the top. Serve. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
