These elegant appetizers are made by mixing cooked crab meat with breadcrumbs and seasonings, shaping it into patties, and frying until crisp. The goal is a crunchy exterior and a tender center.
Combine the cooked crab meat with the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a sticky mixture.
Shape the mixture into small balls and arrange them on a tray. Refrigerate until firm.
Roll the shaped croquettes in breadcrumbs.
Fry the croquettes in hot oil, turning them until golden brown on all sides.
Drain the excess oil on paper towels and serve hot.
Chill the mixture until it is firm enough to handle; otherwise, the croquettes may fall apart while frying. Allergens: Contains crustacean shellfish (crab), egg, and gluten (breadcrumbs). Do not overcrowd the pan; adding too many croquettes at once lowers the oil temperature and makes the coating absorb more oil.
