El Yucateco | Crab Ball [Recipe]

I love making when we have leftovers from a crab dinner. Here is my variation on it, just individual balls instead of one big one (recipe is halved here too). Hope y'all enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 Large package of softened cream cheese
• 1 Can of crab, drained
• 2 Scallions, chopped
• 1 Teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tablespoon of El Yucateco Caribbean Habanero Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
• ¼ Cup of chopped nuts
• Tortilla chips or crackers

Directions

1. Combine the cheese with the crab until soft, add the chopped scallions, the Worcestershire sauce, the El Yucateco Caribbean Habanero Sauce, the lemon juice and form into a ball.

2. Wrap in cling wrap, then place the mixture in the fridge for 2 hours. Roll the cheese ball in the chopped nuts before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes: Recipe source. I can never find the Caribbean hot sauce, so I use the XXX extra hot habanero sauce which is my favorite El Yucateco sauce.
