Crab Bites Ingredients

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, cream cheese, bread crumbs, green onions, dijon mustard, garlic powder, old bay seasoning, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2

Form the Bites

With your hands, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

3

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

4

Fry the Crab Bites

Carefully add the crab bites to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

5

Drain and Serve

Remove the crab bites from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
