Crab Cake PoppersPT60Mhttps://img4.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0826/b4/a/183165/300x200x90.jpg Good lump crab doesn’t need much to set off its flavor, and when it’s the star of the show like it is in these Crab Cake Popper appetizers. Red bell peppers, onion, and celery complement the freshness of the lump crab while the crunchy Panko bread crumbs add some texture to offset the seafood’s creaminess. Because there isn’t a lot of mayo or binder to hold these poppers together, be sure to use a light hand when molding your little bite-size nuggets to hold their delicate flavors. 8 servings
