Method

Preparation of Crab Filling

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, claw crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, green onions, minced garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently mix until well combined. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper according to your preference.

Stuffing the Crab Shells

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Stuff the Shells

    Take the cleaned crab shells and carefully stuff each shell with the crab filling mixture, packing it in gently but firmly.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Stuffed Crab

    Place the stuffed crab shells on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
