1 1/4 cups mayonnaise, divided
1 egg, beaten
2 green onions, finely chopped, divided
3 tbs finely chopped red bell peppers, divided
2 tbs lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)

4. Roll crabmeat mixture into 30 (1-inch) balls. Add, 1 at a time, to reserved cracker crumbs in pie plate; roll to evenly coat crabmeat balls with crumbs.

Tips: Make Ahead The crabmeat mixture can be rolled into balls ahead of time. Do not coat with reserved crumbs. Refrigerate up to 24 hours along with the mayonnaise mixture. Store reserved crumbs in resealable plastic bag at room temperature until ready to use as directed.
