- 6 tablespoon butter

- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon sprinkle over shells/patties

In a skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil. Then add onion, red pepper and serrano (or jalapeno pepper) pepper. Mix well and cook for a few minutes or until veggies are tender.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add crab, bread crumbs, wine, butter, whisked egg, sage and parsley. Combine and stir immediately so egg does not scramble. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more butter if desired. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill shells with mixture or form into balls and then flatten to form ½ inch patties. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve crab with lemon wedges to sprinkle. Enjoy!
