This recipe was a huge hit as a pre-christmas party for a few friends. We paired it with a cold spinach dip with water chestnuts. The heat of the crab dish melded perfectly with the cool of the dip. We served with two types of warm bread. The only changes to the recipe was to leave out one of the jalapenos and to cook the crab in the shell with a topping of butter, breadcrumbs, and parmesan.
