Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika until well combined to make the remoulade sauce. Set aside.
  2. 2In another bowl, combine cream cheese, green onion, bell pepper, shallot, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, crab claw meat, mozzarella cheese, and jumbo lump crab meat. Gently fold until evenly mixed.
  3. 3Place a generous spoonful of the crab filling in the center of each empanada wrapper.

  6. 6Fry the empanadas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. 7Remove empanadas from oil and drain on paper towels.
  8. 8Serve hot with the remoulade sauce for dipping.
