  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound fresh crab meat or canned crab meat, drained
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup crushed crackers (such as saltines or butter crackers)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Oil for frying


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Delicious Crab Crunchies:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the Mixture: Use your hands to form small balls or patties from the crab mixture, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter.
3. Coat the Crunchies: In a shallow dish, combine the crushed crackers and grated Parmesan cheese. Roll each crab ball in the cracker mixture until well coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5. Fry the Crunchies: Carefully place the coated crab balls into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the crab crunchies to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining crab balls until all are cooked and crispy.

These steps will lead you to a delicious batch of crab crunchies that are golden, crispy, and full of flavor!
