Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Crab can be paired with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. One wine you could try is Game of Thrones Chardonnay. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Game of Thrones Chardonnay

Enticing aromas of stone fruit and white blossoms lead to a rich, creamy palate of peaches, apricots, tangerine, Meyer lemon, baking spices and honey, balanced by mouth-watering acidity. A touch of oak on the lingering finish.

Instructions

In a deep skillet over medium heat, saute the onions, shallots and mushrooms in the clarified butter until the onions are translucent. Add most of the spices, reserving a pinch. Add the cream cheese, crab, Parmesan, and garlic, stirring until incorporated. Add the sherry and cook for another few minutes, tasting to see if you need more. Add the cream and reduce the heat. Add the remaining spices and salt and pepper to taste. When the mixture has cooled, divide it among four 8 oz. casseroles, filling each one just below the top. Place four sheets of phyllo pastry on top of each casserole, and, with kitchen shears, cut into a rough circle, leaving 3 inches of extra pastry around the diameter. Squeeze this extra pastry into a crust (like a pie crust) and brush with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, until the phyllo puffs up and browns.
