"I had these at Joe's Crabshack and am putting this recipe here until I can try it. They were the bomb; must like spicy though. These are deep fried appetizers."

Questions & Replies

Could you put all of this into a food processor? Also, if I want to make them and freeze them ahead of time, do I add the breading before freezing?

I've been looking to recreate these for a long time, I will say your balls will stay intact if they are frozen before they hit the hot oil, they will look more like the real thing and be far easier to bread. Which goes for anything like this.

Love them and if and the fridgerator it'll be even harder but it's good I watch them make it one time I'm going to work that just got off 240 and Penn in OKC so it's really awesome and really good
