Crab in Sea Shells

Ingredients:

* 7-8 oz lump crabmeat, cooked*
* 1 Tablespoons cream
* 1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese
* 2 Tablespoons minced onion
* 1/2 teaspoon horseradish
* 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
* 1/4 cup toasted almonds

Allow cream cheese to soften a few minutes at room temperature. Slowly blend in cream. Add onion, horseradish, salt and pepper. Carefully stir in crabmeat. Spoon mixture into individual baking shells or casseroles. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake in a 375?F oven for 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

*If freshly cooked lump crabmeat is not available to you, canned crabmeat can be substituted, but it's simply not as good. If you must substitute, remember with canned crabmeat, price is the best indicator of quality. Don't scrimp here.
