  2. Turn on the processor and slowly add the oil in a fine stream. When you have finished adding the oil, add the lemon juice to taste and more salt and pepper if needed.

Just love this recipe!! So nice to see a good version of this classic, without Old Bay Seasoning (which not everyone likes). I'll be trying this one the next time I can get my hands on crab. The aioli looks delicious, too. Thanks so much for posting this. ;o)
