Served with a side of parmesan asparagus and the last of our summer limoncello

      Was mostly winging it but tried to stick close to these measurements:

      • 1 lb crab meat
      • between 1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs
      • 1/4 cup mayo
      • 2 tsp mustard
      • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
      • a generous amount of Old Bay
      • parsley
      • lemon juice
      • salt and pepper
