We’ve completely reinvented this breaded and deep-fried pub-food favorite by giving it a fresh upgrade. This spicy makeover combines jalapeños with a light and refreshing parmesan cheese and crabmeat mixture into a bite-sized appetizer you can easily make at home. They also make a great weekend lunch or easy dinner when paired with a hefty garden salad. For a less spicy dish, remove the seeds from the jalapeños. But, be sure to handle them with care. Since the heat from their seeds can linger on your skin, don't touch your eyes until after you’ve washed your hands with soap and warm water.
