Ingredients

8 blue crabs, (meat and top shell), steamed
1 medium potato, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1⁄2 cup bread crumbs
1 medium onion, minced
1 long green chili, siling pansigang, chopped
1 medium tomato , diced
3 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp cooking oil, for sauteeing
2 eggs
1 cup cooking oil, for frying

Instructions

Heat pan and pour-in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Saute onion and tomatoes.
Add potato and carrot. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes
Put-in the long green chili and crab meat (can include the juice of the crab for additional flavor). Cook for 2 minutes.
Add parsley, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir. Turn off the heat and place in a large bowl.
Once the temperature cools down, combine the cooked mixture with breadcrumbs and eggs. Mix well.
Stuff each crab shell with the mixture.
Heat a pan and pour-in 1 cup of oil.
When the oil becomes hot, fry the stuffed crab shells. The part with the stuffing should be facing up. Gently scoop the hot oil using a spoon and pour the oil on the stuffings. This will slowly cook the stuffing.
Flip the crab shell and fry the side with stuffing in medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve. Share and enjoy!
