Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.
  • These can be made a few hours ahead — just refrigerate before baking and pop them in the oven when ready.
  • Feel free to swap crab with canned tuna, cooked shrimp, or even shredded chicken for variations.
