Description

Famous Crab Bombs Seafood Dream is a luxurious, broiled seafood dish made almost entirely of sweet jumbo lump crabmeat. With minimal filler and maximum flavor, these golden crab bombs deliver a tender inside and a crisp, buttery top—perfect for dinner parties or coastal cravings at home.


Ingredients

Scale

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)

2 tbsp melted butter (for serving)

Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

1. Carefully inspect crabmeat for shell fragments, keeping the lumps intact. Place in a large mixing bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth.

3. Pour the wet mixture over the crabmeat. Add chopped parsley. Gently fold together without breaking up the crab lumps.

4. If the mixture feels too wet, gently fold in 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs—only as much as needed.

5. Shape the mixture into 3–4 large round crab bombs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to help them hold shape.

7. Preheat the oven broiler to high. Broil crab bombs for 10–12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

8. Drizzle with melted butter, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.


Notes

Chill time helps the bombs keep shape while broiling.

Avoid overmixing to maintain crabmeat texture.

Use high-quality crabmeat for best results.
