The Crab Bomb

Ingredients

2 lbs jumbo lump crab meat
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 sticks of unsalted butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tbs old bay seasoning
Parsley for garnish
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
This is a wonderful recipe that is a knock off of the famous ‘Crab Bomb” Served at Jerry’s Seafood in a suburb of Washington D.C. It is rich with butter and most importantly, jumbo lump crab meat. The serving size is huge, about 1/2 lb per person. Serves 4.

Directions:

  • Mix old bay seasoning with crab meat several hours before serving.
  • Melt butter and mix with vinegar.
  • In a bowl mix the crab meat with mayonnaise, panko, then season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Using your hands, being careful not to break up the lumps make 4 (1/2 lb) tennis ball sized balls of the crab mixture and place them in individual heat proof ramekins.
  • Pour the melted butter/vinegar mixture over the crab meat.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until  it sizzles.
  • Garnish with parsley.
