Pour lemon herb sauce over crab mixture in bowl and mix carefully.

Put on cookie sheet & put into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30-45 mins or until heated through.
This recipe is very simple, but makes a great presentation when served inside of crab shells. Feel free to add any other ingredients to your liking. I've also added shrimp, scallops, ect. on occasion, and made Stuffed "seafood". It was absolutely delicious! I always get compliments on this dish and have been asked for this recipe everytime I make it and Im sure you will too!
