Cajun Crab Poppers image

My brother moved to New Orleans and I love visiting him and his family whenever I can. These easy jalapeno poppers are stuffed with crab, cajun seasonings and bacon. They're a little hot and spicy, just like a visit to New Orleans! -Elizabeth Lubin, Huntington Beach, California

These were delicious! I used real crab meat and they were so flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these several times now and they are always a hit. I usually double the recipe because they go so fast. They are also great for freezing and reheating later.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
