Description
Hey, seafood lovers! Are you ready to add a little gourmet flair to your appetizer game? Today, we’re making Crispy Crab Balls, a delightful treat that combines the sweet, tender flavor of crab meat with a crispy, golden exterior.Â
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lump crab meatÂ
- ¼ cup mayoÂ
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoningÂ
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauceÂ
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ⅛ teaspoon lemon zestÂ
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbsÂ
- 1Â egg
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley , finely chopped
- serve with remoulade sauce , optional
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients except for the crab and panko breadcrumbs to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the crab and breadcrumbs being careful not to break up the crab meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray and shape the crab bites into golf-sized balls. I like to use a mini ice cream scoop.
Place the crab bites in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer, work in batches if you have to. Use a spatula to gently remove the cooked crab bites out of the air fryer.Â
Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!
