CRAB STUFFED BACON CUPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cut bacon into thirds for regular cupcake tins, or into quarters for minis.
• Lay bacon in tins, criss crossing, to cover the cup.
• In a small bowl add your crab, cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, old bay, mustard and celery. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Divide crab mixture into 12 even meatballs (24 for minis) and place the mixture in the bacon cups, pushing down into the cup to fill it.
• Top with the remaining 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese has is melted and the bacon is cooked.

BACON WRAPPED CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP WITH LEMON BASIL CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven for 350 degrees F.
• To make the crab stuffing: Combine the crab, crackers, scallions, pepper, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon, and garlic. Season the stuffing with salt and pepper and mix well. Set the stuffing aside.
• Using a paring knife, slice the shrimp down the backs and remove and discard the 'veins'. Deepen the incisions if necessary, then spoon stuffing into each shrimp. Wrap each stuffed shrimp with bacon and arrange them in a large baking dish.
• To make the pesto: pulse the basil, walnuts, cheese, and garlic together in a food processor (or grind in a mortar) then gradually incorporate the oil. Adjust the seasoning with lemon juice and set aside.
• To make the roux: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and cook, stirring, until the mixture, although still pale, looks dryer and no longer smells raw, about 5 minutes. Remove the roux from the heat.
• Transfer the shrimp to the oven and roast until the bacon begins to render and brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the shrimp and roast on the second side until the shrimp are opaque, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon basil cream: Heat the oil and butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and golden, about 7 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 5 minutes then add the cream. Simmer until the sauce has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and pesto, then whisk in the roux a tablespoon at a time (use just enough to thicken the sauce). Keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
• Arrange the shrimp on 4 warm plates and serve with lemon basil cream sauce on the side.

• Place the endive spears on a platter and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the crab mixture into the center of the leaves. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped bacon.

CRAB DIP STUFFED BACON CUPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• * Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees * Prepare your pan by laying strips of bacon in until you have the cup completely covered. The beauty of this recipe is they don't need to be perfect. In fact, it is better when they aren't because it gives a unique look to your cups. ( if you like your bacon crispier you can fry it for 2 to 3 minutes on each side before placing in pan. Just let it cool before you handle it.) * In a small bowl add your crab, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, old bay, salt and pepper, and mustard. * Mix until thoroughly combined. * Using a round teaspoon or 1 inch cookie scooper, scoop your crab dip into the cups, making sure to push them down just a little so they completely fill the cup. * Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. * Put your pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until bacon is done and cheese is bubbly and brown on top. * Let them sit in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes to cool. * When cooled, remove from the pan and place on dish with paper towels to drain. * Serve immediately after draining.
