Cajun Crab Stuffed Pepperoncini
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 36 hors d'oeuvres
36 pepperoncini
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces crab claw meat, shredded
1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Chopped fresh parsley leaves
Cut the stem end off the pepperoncini and carefully scrape out the seeds. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the crab and continue to mix. Add the Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, and thyme and mix until blended. Place the mixture into a pastry bag and pipe into the seeded pepperoncini. Dip the cream cheese end of the pepperoncini in the chopped parsley before serving and transfer directly to a serving tray.
Cook's Note: If you don't have a pastry bag, use a large zipping plastic bag with one corner cut off.
In all honesty, I have not made these. I saw these on Food Network. How could anything be bad with crab and cream cheese made simply with pepperoncini's? If anyone has made these let us know how they are! I personally would use my Boursin cream cheese spread recipe and mix the crab mixture into it and then stuff it into the pepper as well.
