Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice off the tops of the cherry tomatoes and gently scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon or melon baller. Be careful not to pierce the sides.
Place the hollowed-out cherry tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each cherry tomato with the crab mixture. Fill them generously but avoid overfilling.
Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the tops of the stuffed tomatoes for a pop of color and added flavor.
Arrange the crab-stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
