Golden Fiesta Palm Oil, for frying
1 Remove crab meat from shells and set aside.
2 In a pan, saute onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes in Golden Fiesta Palm Oil.
3 Add crab meat, then cook for a few seconds. Add green onions and season with Datu Puti Patis and ground black pepper.
4 In a bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add beaten yolks.
5 Fold in crab mixture and bread crumbs. Place the mixture in shells.
