Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Fresh or canned crab meat
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives or green onion
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
Gently fold in the crab meat, making sure not to break it apart too much. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
Add the chopped parsley and chives (or green onions). Mix gently to combine.
Spoon the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use your hands to form the mixture into a round ball shape.
Wrap the crab ball tightly in the plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, unwrap the crab ball and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Serve the crab ball with an assortment of crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
