Directions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, until wilted.
Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the green onions, parsley, herbs, and seasonings and continue to simmer until the cream has reduced by about a quarter and the sauce is thick.
Stir in the crab meat, return to a simmer, and let cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
Pour into a chafing dish and serve as an hors d'oeuvre or as part of a buffet with crackers or Melba toast.
