Description

Irresistible Crab Bombs are delightful, flavorful bites made with succulent crab meat, creamy cheeses, and a crispy coating. They are perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in, offering a taste of seafood perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, green onions, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the crab mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. These are your crab bomb appetizers.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Roll each crab bomb first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully fry the crab bombs in batches, without overcrowding the skillet, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Remove the fried crab bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  8. Serve your irresistible crab bombs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the crab mixture.
  • You can bake these crab bombs at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.
  • These crab bomb appetizers can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before frying.
