🥘 Ingredients 🥓

• 12 oz crab meat, shell or cartilage removed
• 1/3 cup dry sherry
• 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
• 1 tsp dried mustard
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 10 slices bacon, cut into halves

📋 Instructions 📋

1. Preparation of Crab

   • Remove any shell or cartilage from the crab meat, then chop it into small, delightful pieces.

2. Mixing the Ingredients

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared crab meat with dry sherry, finely chopped chives, dried mustard, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until all flavors are beautifully blended.

3. Chilling Time

   • Pop the bowl into the fridge for a refreshing 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a harmony of taste.

4. Rolling the Crab Mixture

   • After the chill time, take a tablespoon and portion out the crab mixture. Shape these portions into small, delectable rolls. Each roll is a burst of flavor waiting to happen!

5. Wrapping with Bacon

   • Now, it’s time to add that extra layer of savory goodness. Take each crab roll and wrap it snugly with half a slice of bacon. 🥓 Secure these lovely bundles with toothpicks to hold everything in place.

6. Broiling Time!

   • Preheat your broiler, positioning the rack about 4 inches from the heating element. Place your bacon-wrapped crab rolls on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
   • Broil the dabs for 6-7 minutes or until the bacon becomes wonderfully crisp and golden. Carefully turn each roll and continue broiling for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring that both sides are beautifully crisp and the crab is heated through.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once done, remove the toothpicks and arrange these golden-brown Crab Dabs on a platter. They are best enjoyed hot, straight from the broiler, with maybe a zesty dipping sauce on the side for an extra flavor kick.
