Helpful hints
- Fresh Maryland lump crabmeat is best, but other varieties or imitation crab can be used if unavailable.
- Old Bay Seasoning® is a popular seasoning made from celery seed, salt, mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika. It contains 160 mg sodium for 1/4 teaspoon. If unavailable, substitute another low-sodium seasoning or spice mix.
- Look for low-sodium broth containing less than 250 mg sodium per cup. Avoid low-sodium broth that contains potassium chloride—it’s very high in potassium. Reduced-sodium broth containing 500 milligrams sodium or less per 1 cup serving is also a good choice in limited amounts.
