Sweet crabmeat tossed with tangy lemon-caper dressing is delicious over tender greens. You could also fill several lettuce leaves with the mixture to make lettuce wraps. A variety of different lettuces would work—try Bibb, romaine, or red leaf. You can buy convenient containers of pasteurized crabmeat in the refrigerated section of the supermarket’s fish department. Pasteurized crabmeat has been heated to kill any organisms that might be present. You can keep it, refrigerated, for as long as the sell-by date. Once you open the package, however, plan to use it within a day or two, as you would fresh crabmeat.
