Seaview Crab Imperial - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 ounces green bell peppers, finely diced (1/4 cup)
    2 ounces red bell peppers, finely diced (1/4 cup)
    1 teaspoon butter (I use 1 tablespoon even when I half this recipe- it gives such a nice flavor)
    1 cup mayonnaise
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    2 teaspoons dry mustard
    salt and pepper
    2 lbs lump crabmeat, picked over to remove shells
    paprika
    lemon wedge, for garnishing
Preparation
    In skillet over medium heat, saute the peppers in the butter until soft. Allow to cool.
    In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except the crab meat together.
    Gently fold in crab meat, trying to keep the chunks from breaking up. Do not over mix.
    Spoon evenly into 6 buttered scallop shells or individual casserole dishes. Sprinkle lightly with paprika (I use Old Bay) Even though it's not in the original recipe, I always put an additional tiny pat of butter on top of each one before I bake them. You just can't have too much butter when you're eating this!
    Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.
