Crab-Avocado Boats

Hello Fishies!

I have had requests to provide you with seafood recipes, which I will do from time to time. As it is now Alaska King Crab season with fresh product on the market, what better time to introduce to you one of our favorites:

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 pound fresh crab meat (you can substitute shrimp)
3 large avocados, halved and seeded
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter and blend in four and salt. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Add lemon juice; fold in crab. Arrange unpeeled avocado halves in a shallow baking dish. Spoon crab mixture atop. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs and marjoram; sprinkle over filled avocados. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 mins.

Stay tuned for more!
