🦀 Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture – imitation crab can make the filling mushy and less flavorful
🌡️ Don’t overfill the croissant cups or the filling may bubble over during baking – leave about 1/4 inch space at the top
🔪 Chop the shrimp into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and easy eating in bite-sized portions
