- Fill each ramekin with crab meat mixture, pressing into the corners and flattening on top. rnRefrigerate several hours until rather firm.
- Turn each ramekin out over small serving plates. Tap gently to loosen the formed crabmeat. Gently remove plastic wrap, so crabmeat comes out in a neat little mound. Place 2 flatbread crackers and a slice of lime on each plate. Serve with chilled white wine or ice cold beer.
