Cover the crab with the ketchup and cook for aproximately 20 minutes, stirring occassionally. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
  3. Remove the whole parsley and hot peppers (if using) before serving. Platter may be decorated with hard boiled eggs and parsley. Serve with plain white rice.
