Krabby Balls Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Mixture

   In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. 2

   Form the Balls

   Take a small portion of the crab mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and shape it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, placing the balls on a plate.

3. 3

   Coat the Balls

   Dip each crab ball into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Then, roll the ball in bread crumbs until it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the plate.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer or drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

5. 5

   Fry the Balls

   Carefully add the crab balls to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the Krabby Balls hot with remoulade sauce on the side for dipping.
