Crab Stuffed Jalapenos
  
1/4 c  Butter, melted
1/2 c  Onion, chopped
1/2 c  Celery, chopped
1/4 c  Garlic, chopped
12 oz Fresh crab meat
1 Egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Tabasco to taste
1/2 c  Cracker meal or bread crumbs
   - for dressing, plus extra - for coating
10 Jalapenos, cut in half, 
      - seeded & parboiled (NOTE)
  
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet and saute chopped
onion, celery and garlic until softened, about 3
minutes. 

Combine in bowl with crab, egg, salt, pepper and cracker 
meal, Lemon juice and Tabasco, and mix (dressing should stick 
together). If too dry, add another egg. 

Stuff pepper halves liberally. Moisten stuffed peppers by dipping
in cool water. Roll in more cracker meal to coat. Deep
fry (or fry in skillet) in hot vegetable oil until
golden brown.

NOTE: To parboil, drop peppers into boiling water for a minute or two
       until semi-soft, then drain.
