In a bowl, combine the chopped crab meat, sautéed onion and garlic, chopped spring onion, 2 tbsp of plain flour, and milk. Mix gently until well combined. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Lightly dust the inside of each crab shell with flour. Fill each shell with the crab mixture, pressing gently to fill evenly.

Prepare for breading: first, brush the filled crab shells with the beaten egg wash, then coat generously with breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg wash and breadcrumb coating for a thicker crust.
