Notes
1. If you do not have fresh crab meat, you can also use Lump Crab Meat from the grocery store.2. If you use jarred, or canned crab meat from the grocery store, just add more seasoning. Mix all the ingredients (except the egg), and give it a taste. Once you’re happy with the flavor/salt-content - then mix in the egg.3. You do not need to use two different colored bell peppers - we like to do that for looks since we eat a lot of bell peppers and they won’t go to waste. So, just use half of one color if you’d like.
