Tweaked this recipe quite a bit, and it came out beautifully!! First, I halved the recipe since I only had 8 Oz of lump crab. Added 1/2 C of fresh sliced mushrooms, doubled the Old Bay, added dried basil, 1/4 tsp Creole seasoning, no tomato paste, no bay leaf, a sprinkle or two of Beau Monde seasoning, less dry white wine, but made up for it with sherry. This was delicious!
Thanks for the recipe!
