- 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- a pinch Black Pepper
- 1 Egg

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 beaten egg until smooth.
- Gently add 1 pound of jumbo lump crab meat, ½ cup of breadcrumbs, and ¼ cup of fresh chopped parsley to the wet mixture, folding carefully.
- Scoop the mixture and form it into golf ball-sized portions, rolling each in extra breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.
- Place the shaped bombs on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- For air frying, preheat to 375°F (190°C), spray the bombs with oil and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden. For baking, preheat to 375°F, arrange on a parchment-lined sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes.
- Let the crab bombs cool slightly for a couple of minutes before serving with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
- Avoid imitation crab for best results.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Use soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Replace Old Bay seasoning with Cajun seasoning for a twist.
- Use fresh minced garlic for stronger flavor.
- For vegan, use a flax egg.
- Use gluten-free panko or crushed pork rinds for low-carb.
- Chopped cilantro or dill can be substitutes for parsley.
- Use avocado or olive oil spray for lighter cooking.
