Cover the crab with the ketchup and cook for aproximately 20 minutes, stirring occassionally. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
  • Remove the whole parsley and hot peppers (if using) before serving. Platter may be decorated with hard boiled eggs and parsley. Serve with plain white rice.
