Galveston, Texas's famed crab balls are crispy on the outside and light on the inside! This simple recipe lets you batch-freeze lots for parties and game day!
In a large bowl combine the whisked egg, crab meat, cream, and crushed saltine cracker crumbs. Season with 1/4 t. of salt or Old Bay seasoning, if desired.
Finely dice all of the veggies and heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small sauté pan. Add the onion, bell peppers, and celery and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Continue to cook the veggies until they are soft and wilted. Turn off the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.
Using a 1 oz. meatball scoop or your hands, scoop out balls of the mixture, roll between your palms until it is firm, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
