Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Bell peppers (any color)
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the insides and outsides of the peppers with olive oil. Set them upright in a baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped green onions, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Stuff each bell pepper generously with the crab mixture, pressing it down gently to ensure it's tightly packed.
Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese and a pinch of paprika on top of each stuffed pepper for added flavor and color.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the peppers are tender.
Allow the stuffed peppers to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious crab stuffed bell peppers!
