Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked crabmeat
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 24 tiny toast rounds or crackers
- 1 pinch paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the cooked crabmeat, scallions, parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the crabmeat into very small pieces.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon a small amount of the crab mixture onto each tiny toast round or cracker, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top of each canapé for a pop of color and added flavor.
Arrange the canapés on a serving platter and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can chill them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to serve cold.
