Take a large can of crab pieces, the most expensive of the cans, which run from 17 to 28 dollars depending on the parts. To it add mayo, about 1/2 cup, crab boil powder, dijon mustard, white wine, drop of lemon juice,chopped scallions, chopped red pepper, panko bread crumbs, fresh chopped parsley, mix very carefully.
