Directions
|
1. In a large bowl, mix together the first 7 ingredients until blended well.
2. Heat grill to medium.
3. Butter the open side of rolls and place open side down on grill rack for 1 minute or until toasted well. Turn over and repeat so grill marks appear on the top of each roll, about 1 minute more.
4. While rolls are still hot, spread crab mixture onto each roll bottom, then top with a piece of lettuce and tomato slices. Add salt and pepper if desired and serve immediately or pack up for a picnic.

Story

Rather than make crab patties, grilling those, and then putting them in a bun, I like this cooler sandwich. It's really a nice mix to have the hot, grilled roll or bread combined with the cold crab, lettuce, and tomato.
You can substitute a little sour cream for some of the mayonnaise if you wish, or even plain yogurt. It all works well. Just play with the recipe and enjoy!
