CROQUETAS DE JAIBAS, ESTILO YBOR (YBOR CITY'S DEVILED CRABS)
I grew up in Tampa, Florida and one of my favorite things to do for lunch was find a place for a Cuban sandwich and a devil(ed) crab. That with some hot sauce and a Pepsi to wash it down ....... mmmm, that's the good stuff. I found this recipe on the net and verified it with the author, Ms. Lillian Mount. Thank you Ms. Mount!
