Mrs. Gray's Deviled Crab

• 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon black pepper
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper
• very little or no salt
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard, sifted between fingers so there are no lumps
• ½ stick butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten

Pick over meat, add seasonings and mix. Add beaten egg and melted butter. Mix thoroughly.

Taste before packing meat in shells. If it tastes fairly hot when cold, it's properly seasoned. It get hotter as it cooks.

Pack in shells and broil 8 to 10 minutes until very brown.

Serves 6.
