Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Jalapeños

Preheat your fryer to 350°F (175°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

2

Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, lobster meat, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3

Stuff the Jalapeños

Spoon the filling into each jalapeño half, ensuring they are generously filled.

4

Prepare the Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

5

Bread the Jalapeños

Dip each stuffed jalapeño first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

6

Fry the Jalapeños

Carefully place the breaded jalapeños into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7

Serve

Serve hot with your signature Cilantro-Lime Ranch sauce.
