For an extra layer of flavor, consider broiling the Crab Imperial for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to achieve a beautifully browned and slightly crispy top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes such as asparagus, a green salad, or crusty bread. To make ahead, assemble the Crab Imperial in the dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
