Made this for my husband's dinner tonight! I tasted half of one! Lord, this is an excellent recipe. Even though an Hors d'oeuvre, it can make an excellent meal with fried potatoes, salad, etc.

I plan on using this for any of our fall parties!!!! Excellent!

Bayou Seafood Hors D'Oeuvres

1/4 cup finely minced onions
1/4 cold water
2 cans (6 oz each) crab meat, drained, flaked
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs - used Progresso Parmesan Bread Crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt (opt'l)
2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch ground red pepper

Mix all the above. Shape into 1-inch balls.

Heat 2 inches oil in Dutch oven to 375, fry a few balls at a time until golden, about 1 minute. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper toweling.

Serve at once or keep warm in single layer shallow pan covered with foil, in preheated 250 oven for up to 30 mintues.

Note: Could use 2 cans (7 oz each) Tuna.

When you said bayou seafood I envisioned crayfish and other nasty cajun things. That sounds good. Close to Maryland Crab cakes.

My wife gets off work around ten, so I made my daughter and I Ziti Quattro Formaggio.

Boil a box of ziti, drain, dump in a jar of 4 cheese Prego. Done deal.

Pecan Sandies for desert... life is good.

LOL! My son loves Pecan Sandies. HEB puts out a copy, but they are not the same.

I'm not a big pasta fan, but that was nice of you to cook for them. :D

You would love the Bayou recipe. Let me know if you try it. It's excellent!

Let me know if you do!

I think I was especially excited because I was trying to get a crab cake (if you wanted a crab cake, just make them larger) to taste exactly how I wanted it to taste and this was it. I wanted something better than what I have tried at places like Red Lobster, etc.

I don't like seafood either, but for some reason I do enjoy imitation crab meat.... :p
