Ingredients

Scale

Crab Bomb Mixture

  • 1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs (optional, only if needed)

For Serving

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Inspect Crabmeat: Carefully check the crabmeat for any shell fragments while keeping the lumps intact. Place the crabmeat into a large mixing bowl to prepare for mixing.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Combine Mixture: Pour the wet mixture over the crabmeat. Add the chopped parsley and gently fold everything together, taking care not to break up the crab lumps to maintain their texture.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet to hold shape, gradually fold in 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs, only as much as needed, to firm up the mixture without drying it out.
  5. Shape Crab Bombs: Form the mixture into 3 to 4 large round crab bombs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prepare for chilling.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the shaped crab bombs for 20–30 minutes, which helps them hold their shape while broiling.
  7. Broil: Preheat the oven broiler to high. Broil the crab bombs on the top rack for 10–12 minutes or until the tops turn a golden brown color.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the hot crab bombs with melted butter, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Chilling the crab bombs before broiling helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from falling apart.
  • Be gentle when folding the crabmeat mixture to preserve the delicate lumps and texture.
  • Use high-quality jumbo lump crabmeat for the best flavor and texture in your crab bombs.
