1 tbsp. parsley, minced
8 crab shells or tins
6 shallots, minced (separate green and white parts)
1/2 Po-Boy loaf French bread, stale
1 egg
Bread crumbs
1 stick butter

In a large pot saute onions, celery, pepper and white part of shallot and parsley; cook for another 10 minutes. Work in crabmeat and bread. Add egg to mixture. Add bread crumbs to soak up extra moisture.
