Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces fresh snow peas
- 1 cup cooked crab meat
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the snow peas. Using a small paring knife, carefully make a small slit along the curved edge of each snow pea to create a pocket, being careful not to cut through entirely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, gently stuff each prepared snow pea with the crab mixture. Be careful not to overfill them to prevent tearing.
Arrange the stuffed snow peas on a serving platter. If desired, lightly sprinkle with paprika for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
