Instructions
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese with the lemon juice until smooth.
- Add crabmeat and onion and mix well.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (until mixture is firm; its easier to handle this way).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the pea pods (about 45 seconds).
- Remove the peas and immerse in a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain on a paper towel and pat dry.
- With the point of a sharp knife, split open the curved seam of each of the peas.
- Using a small spoon or cocktail fork, fill each pea with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the crab mixture.
- Arrange on a platter and garnish with the red pepper slices.
