Instructions
Crab Salad
- In a large bowl add your chopped scallions and parsley along with mustard, mayo, sriracha, old bay, and the juice of one lemon.
- Gently pick through the crabmeat looking for any pieces of shell. Try to not break up the lumps as best you can.
- Finally, fold together all the ingredients so that the crab meat is well coated. Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Sliders
- To prepare the sliders brush melted butter on your rolls then lightly dust with old bay and toast under the broiler for about 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to make sure the rolls don't burn.
- Pile the crab salad on top then add a layer of lettuce, tomato, or pickles if you like before cutting it into individual sandwiches.
Notes
Serving size one slider sandwich with about 2-3 oz of crab salad.
