3 tablespoons butter
4 leeks, chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1 pound crabmeat, flaked and cartilage removed
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup dry sherry (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard (optional)
4 sheets frozen phyllo dough (14x9-inch rectangles), thawed
Paprika (optional)

Add the flour to the skillet; cook and stir about 1 minute. Stir in the milk; cook and stir until mixture begins to boil.
