CRISPY CRAB BITES

Crispy Crab Nuggets

1 pound fresh crab meat (I used imitation crab meat)
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (I used panko style)
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley

In a large bowl, mix together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Add breadcrumbs and crab meat and mix by hand to avoid breaking up too many of the lumps. You may need to break up the very large lumps however so the crab balls will stay together. Shape into 24 balls and fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown, turning once*. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite sauce or don’t use any! These are so good!

*I cooked mine on the George Forman Grill to avoid adding all the fat of frying.  You can also grill outdoors or cook under the broiler!

ENJOY!
