This crab-stuffed pepperoncini recipe comes from my dear friends Josh and Olivia. Josh started making these pepperoncinis during man-nights in Louisville and we quickly requested that he make them every time we were together. They’re tangy without being too spicy so almost everyone at a party can enjoy them.
