Method: 

Combine all ingredients except tomatoes, folding all together thoroughly, taking care not to break up the lumps of crabmeat. Chill for at least 1 hour to marry flavors. Stuff each tomato with equal amounts crabmeat salad. Serve. Enjoy applause.

 

Notes: The salad can also be stuffed into ripe avocado halves or served as a hors d’oeuvre with water crackers. If McIlhenny’s Spicy Mayonnaise is not available, use regular mayonnaise, Creole seasoning, and Louisiana hot sauce to taste.
