Filling
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Make sure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Tortilla and Frying

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, shrimp, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab and shrimp mixture in the center of each tortilla.
  3. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a bomb shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few tortilla bombs in the oil, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining bombs.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
