I’m almost certain these would be a tremendous hit at your next party. If you enjoyed my crab stuffed salmon recipe then you will surely enjoy these stuffed crab peppers. I love anything stuffed with crab. Crab stuffed tire? Sounds yum.
I didn’t make a sauce for these because the filling is super tender and moist. I only like adding sauce to crispy or dried foods, otherwise, don’t find it necessary. Although for sure, sauce lovers would probably disagree.
The only thing I’m kicking myself about is not adding mustard. Completely forgot the mustard.
Cherry peppers would be awesome for these.
Be nice to the crab 🙂 Mix gently.
Drizzle the mini peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
