Crab Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Wrapped in Bacon

Wild Dungeness crab leg meat mixed with cream cheese, lemon, garlic and Cajun or Old Bay seasoning, spooned into halved jalapeños and wrapped in bacon.

Crab Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers Wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Dungeness Crab Leg meat

  • 1 8 ounce block of cream cheese, room temperature

  • 1 tbsp Cajun OR Old Baby Seasoning

  • juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 8 Jalapenos, sliced in half and seeded

  • 10 slices of bacon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  2. Crack crab and loosely chop meat.

  3. Mix crab with cream cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, cajun or old bay seasoning.

  4. Slice jalapenos in half and remove seeds (super important step!!!). Line them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Fill each jalapeno with crab mixture and wrap with a slice of bacon. If the bacon is really wide, you might want to slice them in half vertically.

  6. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes until the bacon is cooked and crispy. Enjoy!
