Get 5 slices of bread and soak them in 1 small can (5 ounces) of evaporated milk in a bowl.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a sauté pan over medium-low heat.

Add 1 cup of chopped onions to the melted butter and sauté for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1/3 cup of chopped bell pepper; sauté for an additional 15 minutes.

Add 1 pound of crab meat to the sautéed vegetables and mix well; continue cooking.

Stir in 1/2 cup of green onions, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 3 drops of liquid crab boil; sauté for another 10 minutes.

Add 1 egg to the mixture and ensure it's well incorporated.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary; continue cooking on low heat to avoid burning.

Add the soaked bread and 1 cup of breadcrumbs along with 1/3 cup of chopped parsley; mix thoroughly and sauté for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes; preheat the oven to 400°F.

Stuff the crab mixture into aluminum foil shells or crab shells, packing it tightly.

Sprinkle additional breadcrumbs on top of the stuffed shells.

Place the stuffed shells on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the breadcrumbs are browned.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
