Crab Stuffed Jalapenos
Description
These Crab Stuffed Jalapenos are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer, combining sweet, tender lump crabmeat with a creamy, slightly spicy filling. The fresh heat of the jalapenos pairs beautifully with the richness of the crab, while finely chopped green peppers and onions add a refreshing crunch and aromatic depth. Each bite is balanced by the subtle tang of cracker meal and milk, creating a luxurious texture that feels indulgent yet light. Perfect for summer gatherings, game day parties, or as an elegant starter for a seafood dinner, they require minimal effort but deliver maximum flavor. Serve them warm for the best experience.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
-
Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat, if desired.
-
In a small skillet, sauté the finely chopped green pepper, onions, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, gently fold the flaked crabmeat with the sautéed vegetables, cracker meal, milk, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until just combined.
-
Spoon the crab mixture generously into each jalapeno half, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
-
Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking dish.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
-
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
