CRAB LOUIS



Crab Louis image

This is a chilled salad invented by a Seattle chef-and I feel like that makes sense. It had to be a chef that had a ton of fresh seafood around that would create a dish like this. Honestly, it's a bit elaborate, but it's wonderful because it manages to be both casual and fancy at the same time. The sauce has a tingle of heat and some sweetness, too. It's almost like a slightly creamy cousin of shrimp cocktail, but with crabmeat.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 scallions, minced
Kosher salt
2 cups (about 1 pound) cleaned, cooked lump or jumbo lump crab meat, chilled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cherry tomatoes, preferably Sweet 100, or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
1 large lemon, sliced, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.
  • For the crab: Spread the crab out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and half the chives. Drizzle with the sauce to taste. Do not mix.
  • To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

SPICY SHRIMP & CRAB COCKTAIL



Spicy Shrimp & Crab Cocktail image

This seafood starter is so good that it makes me love a food I usually don't-radishes! This recipe also calls for spicy V8, but Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix works just as well. Serve the cocktail straight up, with tortilla chips or on a bed of butter lettuce. -Heidi Knaak, Liberty, Missouri

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
few drops sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
1/4 inch fresh ginger
1 lime, halved
1 1/2 cups white crab meat
enough Chinese leaf cabbage to line 2 small plates when shredded
1 scallion
approximately 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil and wasabi. Peel and mince or grate the ginger into the bowl and add the zest of 1/2 the lime. Squeeze 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice into the bowl and mix everything together.
  • Toss the crab in the sauce, and then finely shred the Chinese leaf cabbage.
  • Arrange a bed of shredded cabbage on two plates. Divide the crab between them, piling it into the center of each one. Finely chop the scallion and scatter over each plate and then bash some pink peppercorns either in a pestle and mortar - rich in lewd symbolism - or put them in a freezer bag, close it and hit with a rolling pin (more of a comedy moment) and sprinkle these, too, over the crab cocktails.
  • Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and put on the side of the plates for extra spritzing.
