So you can't see much diff between the "he" or the "she"? Thank gawd they can. If you go here you'll get a more detailed analysis on why the "she" is better for this dish. Of course if you're buying your crabmeat by the "El-Bee" (pound) it won't matter, since they only accidently include that eggy and/or orange crusty mustard from "she". Ah well, let's commence. First, open your bottle of Mateus™ or Lancer's™ rosé and pour some into the glass on the counter there. Take out a stick of butter (c'mon, oleo won't cut it here) and put in the medium hot pan-- don't let it burn.

We are making roué now, so the more flour you toss in the thicker, but then you don't want to taste flour do ya'? Okay, 2-3 Tbsp tops-- when it's good and pasty, splash with some wine. Now, hit it with some Vitamin D milk (Lé French cringe here, but cream is dead: this is rich enough-- trust us). 

While stirring to your preferred consistency, dump in your crabmeat, toss in some caramelized minced onion (dried s'okay too, in a pinch) and Old Bay™ or do it as my Bro-in-Law digs it: with Paul Prudhomme™ seasoning; couldn't find the Old Bay at their house, so there you are. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab is delicate and spicin' it up is a crime--  IMAHO*: crab is ruin't by the cajun craze. Keep the spice & andoulle away, because Blue Crab is the most blessed, distinctive flavor the bay offers.

She Crab is simply divine in about 20 minutes.
