Sherri's Notes:

I love crab! These are perfect for a party, starter or just a snack. Crab is rather expensive... this is my way of being frugal and still being able to enjoy these lil' delites. You won't find alot of filler in my balls. I want you to enjoy the crab! I made these for my Homeowners Annual meeting 10/22/2011. These babies were a hit and not one left on the platter. They will go fast so you may want to sneak 1 or 2 for yourself before serving. These will be perfect for any holiday party! Cooking With Passion, sw:)

Directions

combine ingredients 1-9. add 1/3 of the bread crumbs.

fold ingredients together

on a large plate combine remaining bread crumbs and parsley. form the crab mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls. roll balls in the bread crumbs and parsley mixture.

deep fry at 320 degrees for 3 minutes or until golden brown

remove and drain oil

serve with spicy crab sauce

I'm the only one in my family to love crab... so these are perfect for me do for myself... do the cooked ones freeze???? and then put in microwave to heat up???

they freeze well and you can heat them up in the microwave. for the ones who don't like crab, use cooked ground chicken or turkey. serve them up with some cranberry relish for the holidays or any time...they are yummy. sw☺

Hey Sherri...my Hubby said "tell her I'll be right over".
Crab anything is his fav (I'm not much into sea-food...as there is none Fresh here). I do like fried shrimp and shrimp scampy.

He grew up in Maryland and ate fresh seafood almost daily...his folks vacationed on Finwich Island Del and the Outer Banks, NC a lot.
He took me to both places to vacation after we married (I never been to either).

Sherri - I can not WAIT to make these! I LOVE crab (seafood in general), but because there are some who don't when I go that route in entertaining, the chicken or turkey will satisfy quite nicely. Thank you!!
