Seafood Cocktail for Super Bowl Sunday!

I decided to throw a little party this Super Bowl Sunday. I have invited some friends and family over, and I intend to make a whole bunch of this stuff. I figure with all the delicious junk food we will have there, we should really have something healthy. This recipe is so quick and easy and makes a fantastic presentation. Hopefully this will go over as well as the pizza does!

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound cooked large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed), halved crosswise
• 1/2 pound fresh Jonah crab meat, cartilage removed
• 1/2 pound fresh lobster meat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
  
• 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  
• 1 tablespoon drained tiny capers
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  
• 1 teaspoon finely minced red or green jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  
• 1/3 cup Eureka Lemon Olive Oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Recipe Directions
Place the shrimp, crab, lobster, carrot, celery and capers in a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold together the ingredients, being careful not to break up the crab too much. Season with salt and pepper. Add the jalapeno pepper and parsley, then carefully fold in the olive oil and lemon juice, tasting as you go along. Adjust the seasonings and serve immediately, or chill for up to 6 hours. Divide seafood between 8 wine glasses for serving.

Crab Puffs with Cream Cheese

I love cooking with cream cheese. It's a little fatty, but taste is never compromised. These little appetizers remind me of jalapeno poppers, but with yummy crab meat. I usually make these for a game day snack, but they can be brought to any gathering you require an appetizer for.

Ingredients

• 2 cups oil for deep frying
  
• 1/2 pound cooked Jonah crab meat
  
• 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  
• 1 tsp garlic salt
  
• 1 (16 ounce) package small won ton wrappers
  

Directions
Heat oil in large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix together cooked crab meat, cream cheese and garlic salt. Roll a small amount of the crab meat mixture inside each won ton wrapper and seal. In small batches, carefully place won tons into the hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
