Maryland Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs Recipe - from a real Marylander

Easter and spring is a great time to share egg recipes. And, being that I'm from Maryland I have to share my favorite recipe for crab stuffed deviled eggs. Maryland is famous for the Blue Crab, which is indigenous to the Chesapeake Bay. Marylanders also put Old Bay seafood seasoning on everything including eggs, chicken, pork chops and, of coarse, crab. I eat eggs practically every moring loaded with Old Bay.
