Ingredients

• 24 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Slice off the tops of the cherry tomatoes and gently scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon or melon baller. Be careful not to pierce the sides.

Step 3

Place the hollowed-out cherry tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each cherry tomato with the crab mixture. Fill them generously but avoid overfilling.

Step 6

Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the tops of the stuffed tomatoes for a pop of color and added flavor.

Step 7

Arrange the crab-stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
