1/4 lb. margarine
1/2 cup flour
1 can evaporated milk (13oz)
2 egg yolks (broken and stirred)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb. crabmeat
1/2 cup grated cheese

Saute onion and celery in margarine until tender.  Add flour, slowly
add evaporated milk.  Cook until thickened.  Add salt, pepper, and
egg yolks. Stir well. Add crabmeat, stir. Pour into casserole dish,
top with cheese and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.

Note:  One pound of shrimp may also be added if desired.  Saute
pealed shrimp with onions and celery until shrimp is nearly done.
(Baking later will complete cooking of the shrimp.) All other
directions remain unchanged.
