I had all these extra ingrediants laying around the kithen one Christmas Eve and was trying to figure out what to do with them so they wouldn't go to waste and this is what I came up with.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg softened cream cheese (works best at rm temp)
2 jalepeno seeded and chopped
3 can(s) crab meat or baby shrimp drained
4 can(s) croissants
dash or two of tobasco

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven according to the croissant package. Seed and dice the jalepeno. Open and drain cans of crab or shrimp. (tuna and salmon might work well also)

  • 3. Fill the croissants and roll. Place them on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions. I hope these are as successful for you as they have been for me.

ACADIAN-STYLE CRAB SALAD ON CROISSANTS RECIPE



Acadian-Style Crab Salad On Croissants Recipe image

Provided by á-174942

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tubs fresh lump crab - (6 oz ea) (1 lb 300 count shrimp may be substituted)
2 celery ribs from the heart finely chopped
1/4 cup finely-chopped white onion (or grated with a hand grater)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
4 Bibb or leaf lettuce leaves
4 large croissants split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Run your fingers through the crab meat to remove any bits of shell. In a bowl, combine the celery, onion, mayo, chili, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Add the crab meat to the bowl and mix with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Pile salad on lettuce leaves in croissants. Cut each croissant in thirds on angles, following the shape of the pastry. Arrange sandwiches on a plate and serve. This recipe yields 12 pieces, 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can, buy crab meat from a local fish market or seafood counter.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, will give your crab croissants a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices, such as dill, parsley, garlic, and onion powder, will add flavor and depth to your crab croissants.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the croissants. Overstuffed croissants will be difficult to fold and will likely burst open during baking.
  • Bake the croissants until they are golden brown. The croissants should be baked until they are a deep golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Crab croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can customize your crab croissants to your own taste preferences. So get creative and have fun!
