CRAB STUFFED JALAPENO POPPERS

12 large Jalapenos Peppers
FOR THE FILLING:
4 oz. crabmeat, well drained
1/3 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
1/4 cup cream cheese
FOR THE BEER BATTER:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup Corona beer
Oil for frying
All purpose flour
FOR THE SAUCE/GARNISH:
1/2 avocado, peeled and diced
1/2 cup salsa
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Using gloves to protect hands and starting just below stem, cut jalapenos lengthwise in half, leaving stems attached. Remove the seeds. Place Jalapenos in medium saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to simmer. Drain. Repeat process. Dry the Jalapenos.

Combine crab, onion, bell pepper and cream cheese in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Fill Jalapeno cavities with crab mixture. Press the pepper halves together to compress filling. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover and chill.)

TO COOK:
For the beer batter, place 1/2 cup flour in bowl. Gradually whisk in beer. Let stand 30 minutes.

Heat oil in heavy deep pot to 375 degrees F.

Whisk beer batter until smooth. Dredge Jalapenos in flour, then dip into batter to coat completely.

Deep-fry until golden brown. Remove peppers from oil and allow to drain.

Combine avocado, salsa and mayonnaise in small bowl, and use this to garnish the peppers.
