Crabby Pea Pods

These pretty appetizers are so fresh tasting and filled with a delicious, creamy crab mixture. What's not to love!?
I recently saw these in an old Taste Of Home issue and highly recommend them. They're an attractive addition to any snack tray!

















this recipe makes 32 appetizer servings

12 oz. crab meat (fresh or canned)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Chili Sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
Several dashes Red Hot Sauce
Couple of dashes of black pepper
32 fresh Snow Pea Pods

In a small bowl, combine the crab, mayo, chili sauce, salt, hot sauce, & pepper.

Steam snow peas over boiling water for about 45 seconds--or until softened.
Drain and immediately place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.

Split pea pods down the curved side. Spoon a generous Tablespoon of the crab mixture into the pod. Repeat.
Refrigerate until serving time.
