Spicy Crab Bombs with Garlic Butter: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Barbara
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb (450 g) lump crab meat
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup scallions, finely chopped
– 1-2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Salt, to taste
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Spicy Crab Bombs with Garlic Butter:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients measured and ready for use.
2. Make the Crab Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, cream cheese, scallions, sriracha sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Gently fold until well mixed, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
3. Shape the Crab Bombs: With clean hands, scoop out a portion of the crab mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into balls.
4. Heat Oil for Frying: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying (about 350°F or 175°C).
5. Fry the Crab Bombs: Carefully place the crab balls in the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
7. Drizzle Butter Over Crab Bombs: Place the fried crab bombs on a serving platter and generously drizzle with the garlic butter mixture.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Now you have an incredible batch of Spicy Crab Bombs with Garlic Butter that will leave everyone craving more!
