These are great! Serve with extra Old Bay Seasoning on the side for those who want more flavor.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter.
Add 2 tablespoons onion, cook about 2 minutes until they get clear, not burned. (Make sure the heat isn't up too high.)
Remove from stove.
Combine the butter and onion with the following ingredients:
1 large beaten egg (2 if small)
1/2 cup cream or Full Fat Carb Countdown, if you want to watch calories.
1/2 cup low carb bread made into soft bread crumbs. (You may need more if it is too wet.)
One large can 16 oz. of crab meat (or you could use fresh). (The best place to purchase this is at Costco or Trader Joe's. I prefer the Costco Phillip's brand to Trader Joe's.)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon paprika if you don't have this spice, but I recommend it!)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Make into small balls (I use a cookie scoop to make even balls)
Lightly roll the balls in Low-carb Atkins Baking mix or something similar (it could even be ground up pork rinds)
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for a couple of hours
Melt butter or olive oil in a frying pan
Brown the balls on all sides
Put them in the oven for ten minutes at 350 or until they are done (this will depend on the size of the balls)
These could be made earlier in the day or the day before and then heated for an event.
Let me know how you like them!
