Yield Makes about 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fresh crabmeat, picked over
2 cups crushed Ritz crackers, divided
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup canned evaporated milk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix crabmeat and 1 cup cracker crumbs in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green pepper and onion; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add to bowl with crab mixture. Stir in evaporated milk, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Cover; chill for 1-6 hours.
  • Using scant 1/4 cup for each, form crab mixture into sixteen 1 1/2"-diameter balls. Whisk whole milk and egg in a medium bowl. Place remaining 1 cup cracker crumbs in another medium bowl. Roll balls in egg mixture, then coat well with crumbs. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Pour oil into a large wide pot to a depth of 2". Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of pot. Heat oil to 350°F. Working in batches and turning occasionally, fry crab balls until golden brown, 4-6 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels.

These crab balls were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would be better with some additional seasoning.

These crab balls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.
