2 Lb crab shelled and cut into pieces
1/2 cup neutral oil
1 tsp:cayenne, cumin
3 tsp : garlic, ginger, lemongrass, dark soy, fresh sliced chilies
1/2 tsp : turmeric
Mix well and let sit.
6 scallion cut into 2 inch pieces
Bunch of coriander chopped.
1 cup of grape tomatoes, halved

Steam crabs for 5 minutes.
Then put oil mixture into how wok, and fry the crabs & tomatoes and scallion for 4 minutes turning constantly.
Dish up and squeeze lemon over.
Beer or white wine goes great!

The idea is to get a fast yet tasty crab dish without the sticky sauces that usually accompany these dishes.
The crab is still sweet crab tasting but gnawing on the shells gives a fantastic bunch of kick and flavours
Enjoy!

I'll be doing that soon and my family will appreciate the variety! :clap2:
 
I try and steer clear of crabs, I mean I'm still trying to shake off the VD from yesterday, but I gotta admit, that looks pretty darn good. :thumbup:
 
I just had a craving for some crab yesterday, made some crab stuffed ABT's.

If I saw this yesterday, I'd probably would have made something like this, that looks awesome.
 
I'm always getting creative but this worked so well I wrote it out in my little black book and also posted it here for my brothers.
Don't hesitate if you love crab, seriously good recipe!

This will work great when I catch some Dungeness this summer.
