"I had this casserole at Girtles restuarant in Seaside Oregon, if you get the chance to go there I highly recommend it. The food is WONDERFUL and Seaside is a beautiful and friendly little town. The owner of Girtles was kind enough to give me their recipe, I called him after many failed attempts to find a duplicate."

The creamy sauce is a superb accompaniment to the crab making this a truly spectacular dish! I couldn't find any Lawry's 17 seasoning at the store and as I was not sure what the seasonings in it are, I substituted an equal amount of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. This was greatly enjoyed by all the family. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
