These are ooh soo good elegant sandwiches featuring succulent lump crabmeat, tender baby shrimp, and rich Gruyere cheese.

ONE TO TWO HRS. CHILL TIME shopping list
muffin halves shopping list
1/2 cup sour cream shopping list
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard shopping list
1 tablespoon minced scallions shopping list
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice shopping list
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning shopping list

1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list
1/2 pound lump crabmeat* shopping list
2 whole English muffins shopping list
1/2 pound grated gruyere cheese shopping list
1/4 pound baby shrimp** shopping list
*Use fresh crab when in season--Otherwise look for the Phillips brand canned crab available in stores like Costco. Always drain all liquid before making the sandwich filling or it will be soggy. shopping list
**Buy the shrimp cooked . shopping list

Combine the sour cream, mustard, scallions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Check the crabmeat for any small pieces of shell and discard them.
Gently add the crab to the mixture. Don’t over mix; you want the lumps of crab to remain intact.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours so that the flavors meld.
Just before removing the mixture from the refrigerator, separate the English muffins into halves and place them on a baking sheet.
Remove the crab from the refrigerator and scoop equal portions on to each muffin half. Spread evenly.
Divide the cheese into four equal portions. Take half of each portion and sprinkle it evenly on the sandwiches. Set the remaining cheese aside.
Place the shrimp evenly on the tops of each sandwich.
Cover each with the remaining cheese and place them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until melted and bubbling.
Preparation time: 10 minutes plus 2–3 hours downtime.
