CRAB ROLLS



Crab Rolls image

Don't let lobster have all the fun! Crab is just as delicious on a buttery toasted bun, especially when amped up with mayonnaise, lemon, Old Bay, and cayenne.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
6 top-split buns
1 head butter lettuce (such as Boston), leaves separated, for serving
Chopped fresh chives and potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, Old Bay, and cayenne. Gently fold in crabmeat.
  • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium, about 8 minutes. Generously brush top and sides of buns with butter. Place buns, flat-side down, in skillet and toast, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Line inside of buns with 1 to 2 lettuce leaves; divide crabmeat among buns. Drizzle tops with remaining melted butter; sprinkle with chives and more Old Bay. Serve, with lemon wedges and potato chips.

CRISPY CRAB ROLLS

The secret to these crunchy crab rolls? The dumpling wrapper is made of flattened white bread. Chef Andrew Zimmern calls this "Southern country club meets Southeast Asia." The result: a light and crispy exterior with snowy white crabmeat inside.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
Freshly ground white pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg yolk, reserve egg white for Crab Rolls, Step 3
Zest of 1 lemon
5 scallions
1/2 cup Thai sweet chile sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
kosher salt
1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons Water
2 large egg whites
1 cup all-purpose flour
9 slices white Wonder Bread, crusts removed

Steps:

  • Crab filling: In medium bowl, combine the crab meat, white pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise, egg yolk (reserving egg white), and lemon zest. Thinly slice the green part of the scallions (reserving the white part) on an angle, and add to the bowl. Stir the ingredients gently to combine, keeping the crab meat chunks as intact as possible.
  • Dipping sauce: In a small bowl, blend the chile sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat oil to 375 F. In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch, water, and 3 egg whites (reserving 2 egg yolks) to make a slurry. In another large bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Arrange the bread with the short sides facing you. Spread a heaping tablespoon of crab mixture across the middle of each slice, leaving a ½-inch border at both sides. Use your finger to spread some of the reserved egg yolk along the top and bottom of the flattened bread. Roll and tuck the bread around the crab; press to seal the rolls. Let the rolls rest seam-side down for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg white mixture again to recombine any cornstarch that may have settled to the bottom. Dip each crab roll into the mixture, then dredge in the flour. Carefully transfer the rolls to the oil and fry in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the crab rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Finely slice the white part of a scallion and garnish the chili sauce. Slice the crab rolls in half and serve with the chile sauce.

NEW ORLEANS STUFFED CRAB EGGROLL



New Orleans Stuffed Crab Eggroll image

I love this time of year for the crabs. As a kid my mom would always make stuffed crabs, well crabmeat stuffing baked on individual aluminum crab shaped tins that we washed after each time we used them. Oh the memories, how my tummy would get happy when my mom said to get out those individual crab tins. This is my play on my...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb crabmeat, fresh, white
1 stick butter
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 egg
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 c parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 c milk
1 c bread crumbs
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a skillet and sauté onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt to season.
  • 2. Add crabmeat, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and salt. Cover over low heat for 10 minutes
  • 3. Remove crab mixture from skillet and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • 4. Add egg, milk, and half cup of bread crumbs to crab mixture. Mix thoroughly. Add the some of the other half cup of bread crumbs if needed. I don't like to much bread in mine, it overpowers the crab. However you do want the mixture to hold together, use your judgment.
  • 5. Following the instructions on wonton wrapper package, place a tablespoon (from your utensil drawer) of mixture on wonton wrapper. Fold up wrapper to make eggroll as shown on package directions.
  • 6. Heat oil in a heavy pot, enough oil to submerge eggrolls. Place about 6 eggrolls in the oil. They will cook quickly, so keep an eye. Once they get golden brown, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
