Ingredients
- 12 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, shrimp, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare tortilla: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab and shrimp mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Form bombs: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a bomb shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat oil: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat.
- Fry bombs: Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few tortilla bombs in the oil, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining bombs.
- Serve: Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
