"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
12 Tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, divided
3 scallions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. curry powder
1 lb. lump crabmeat, drained and picked to remove shells
2 tsp. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
10 sheets phyllo dough

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven 400º

Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium pan, add the scallions and garlic and cook over medium-low heat until the scallions are soft, about 5 min. Add the curry powder and stir.

Shred the crabmeat into a bowl and mix with the parsley, lime juice, salt, to taste, and pepper. Add the crabmeat to the scallion mixture.

Melt 10 Tbsp. of butter in a small pan and set aside.

Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs until 5 sheets have been used. Spoon a 1 inch wide row of the crab mixture along 1 edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and set aside. Repeat the entire process using all the phyllo dough and crab filling.

Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper. Score the crab strudel diagonally into 1 1/2 inch pieces and bake for 12 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown. Slice and serve.
