SPICY SHRIMP & CRAB COCKTAIL
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

Steps:
- Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse breadcrumbs; transfer to a large bowl. Add the crab, mayonnaise, green onions, lemon zest, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix gently to combine. Add the egg and mix gently but thoroughly.
- For the mixture into eight 3-inch-wide crab cakes. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set slightly.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes, in batches if necessary, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, in batches if necessary, and cook, tossing, until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the spinach among four plates and top with the crab cakes. Serve with Cocktail Remoulade and lemon wedges.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, parsley, mustard, vinegar, capers, green onion and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. The remoulade keeps, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Put the fennel in a large bowl of ice-cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice. Leave for at least 30 mins to crisp up. Drizzle more lemon juice on the avocados to stop them browning. Whisk together all the ingredients for the Marie Rose sauce in a bowl with seasoning. Set aside to chill in the fridge.
- Just before serving, drain the fennel and toss with the remaining lemon juice, dill and some seasoning. Layer the lettuce, avocado, fennel and crab in 4 x half-pint glasses - or tumblers or jam jars. Add a spoonful of sauce to each, then repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with the Marie Rose sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper over each cocktail and serve with lemon wedges and toast, if you like.

Steps:
- For the cocktail sauce: Combine the chili sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Chill until serving.
- For the crab: Drop both whole live crabs in a large pot of salted boiling water. Let cook until the shells turn a bright red, 10 to 15 minutes. Be aware that the meat cooks very fast once exposed to the hot water. Remove the crabs from the water and pull the main shell off. If this is difficult, insert a large knife between the shells in the back of the crab where they meet and pry open. Once the top shell is removed, rinse the crab in the sink, cut in half (from front to back, not side to side) and peel off the gills (which are attached to the bottom portion) and discard. Clean out all entrails and other waste from the top shell portion. Place on a plate with the lemon and lime slices, and place the top shell back on top for presentation. Serve with the cocktail sauce.

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.

Steps:
- Make the cocktail sauce: put tomatillos in a food processor; process until coarsely pureed.
- Remove the puree into a sieve; drain off the liquid, and discard.
- Put the drained puree into a small bowl and stir in the vinegar, sugar, Tabasco, garlic, mustard seeds, and horseradish until combined (the cocktail sauce can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator).
- Make the mayonnaise: tear up the white bread and pulse the pieces in a food processor to make fine, soft crumbs (should have about 6 cups crumbs).
- Remove bread crumbs to a shallow pan; mix in ½ cup chopped parsley; set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds, and black pepper; pulse to combine.
- With the motor running, slowly add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise; remove mayonnaise from the food processor and refrigerate.
- Place crabmeat in a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl; pull the cheesecloth tightly around the crabmeat and squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- Put the chopped onions and bell peppers in a sieve over a bowl and use your hands to squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- In a big bowl, combine the onions and bell peppers with the remaining ¼ cup parsley; add in the chilled mayonnaise and crabmeat; toss lightly to combine.
- Add 1 cup of the breadcrumb mixture and combine.
- Do not overwork the mixture or the crabcakes may get gummy.
- Gently form 8 patties and roll the patties lightly in the remaining breadcrumb mixture.
- Leave the crabcakes in the pan of bread crumbs until you saute them.
- Preheat the oven to 425°; using a nonstick saute pan and butter as needed, panfry the crabcakes, in batches, until golden brown on both sides and place them on a baking sheet as they are browned.
- When all the crabcakes are browned, put them in the oven until they are heated all the way through, 5-8 minutes.
- To plate: serve one crabcake as an appetizer or two as an entree; serve with a ramekin of cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge.
- **Note-the crabcakes actually hold together better if prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator before cooking; store them in the pan of breadcrumbs, covering with plastic wrap.
- Wine suggestion-a lightly oaked Chardonnay.
