Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/4 c Butter, melted
1/2 c Onion, chopped
1/2 c Celery, chopped
1/4 c Garlic, chopped
12 oz Fresh crab meat
1 Egg, slightly beaten
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts White pepper
1/2 c Cracker meal or bread crumbs
- for dressing, plus extra
- for coating
10 Jalapenos, cut in half, l.w.
- seeded parboiled (NOTE)

Heat butter in a non-stick skillet and saute chopped onion, celery
and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Combine in bowl with
crab, egg, salt, pepper and cracker meal, and mix (dressing should
stick together). If too dry, add another egg. Stuff pepper halves
liberally. Moisten stuffed peppers by dipping in cool water. Roll in
more cracker meal to coat. Deep fry (or fry in skillet) in hot
vegetable oil until golden brown. NOTE: To parboil, drop peppers into
boiling water for a minute or two
until semi-soft, then drain.
