Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup diced bell pepper (red or green- your choice)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded lettuce (some shredded or torn and a few whole leaves that look pretty)
2 cups cooked crab meat (I have never used canned)
2 eggs, boiled

Steps:

Arrange around the rim of a bowl some whole lettuce leaves.
Place in the center of the bowl about 1/2 cup shredded lettuce leaves.
Combine ingredients 1-9 in a bowl to make the Crab Louis sauce. Chill it if you have time for a few hours -- It will be better.
Add enough sauce to crab meat until crab is well coated but not runny and toss thoroughly. (you might not use all of the sauce).
Assemble into bowls and garnish with chopped eggs.
best if chilled but sometimes I can't wait.
