- 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 20 pieces crackers (crushed)

- Wait until the mixture cools before peeling the crabs. The crab stuffing should fit in about six crab shells.
- Once the skillet is cooled, carefully add the crab meat and toss it to prevent it from breaking up.

- Warm water should be used to clean crab shells.
- Fill each crab shell high with the crab meat mixture.
- After each filled shell is stuffed, sprinkle some more crushed crackers over it, and top it with butter.
- Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with paprika.
- During the baking process, the Stuffed Crab Recipe should be left uncovered in the oven for about 30 minutes. Serve immediately after removing from the oven.
