Author Notes: This recipe was created by Terry Sheehan, executive chef of Yosemite National Park's fabulous Ahwahnee Hotel. Chef Sheehan usually serves this crab salad as an hors d'oeuvre on a piece of lavosh cracker.

If you've ever visited Disney's California Adventure Amusement Park in Anaheim, California, it's readily apparent that the Ahwahnee served as inspiration for Disney's Californian Resort. But like most copies, the Disney version pales in comparison to the original. You just can't recreate the tangible aura of history the envelops the awe-inspiring Ahwahnee, not to mention the spectacular surroundings created by Mother Nature.

Ingredients: 2 ounces canola oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 pound blue crab, clawmeat, picked
1/2 cup sour cream
2 ounces Boursin cheese
2 teaspoons green Tabasco® sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
juice of 2 limes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
cayenne pepper to taste
Instructions: In a medium sauté pan, sauté garlic and shallots in canola oil until translucent. Remove from heat and cool.

In a medium size bowl, whip together sour cream and boursin cheese. When mixture becomes smooth, season with Tabasco, Worcestershire, cilantro and chives. Finish with lime juice, salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Mix in crabmeat, garlic and shallots, being careful not to break up the crab meat too finely.
