MARINATED CRACKED CRAB



Marinated Cracked Crab image

This is a very simple yet very delicious recipe and meal. My grandparents grew up in the bay area, california. An area that is popular for the dungenees crab. They knew the owner of a local resturant who made this dish for his friends but was not on the menu. They were fortunate to get the recipe. The recipe works best with fresh live crabs but will do well with previously frozen crabs.

CRACKED CRAB, CHILI MAYONNAISE AND SHRIMP CHIPS



Cracked Crab, Chili Mayonnaise and Shrimp Chips image

My grandfather grew up on the bayous of Louisiana, and seafood platters were frequent at our pre-Thanksgiving table. The night before Thanksgiving, when all the family gathered, we would have shrimp creole. The next day, the 'pre-game' play was a bowl of the leftover shrimp creole and cracked crab. I have incorporated this tradition into my own Thanksgiving feast day; it is a nice light starter, preparing one for the onslaught of heavy foods to come.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 a lemon)
2 dashes hot sauce (preferably Tabasco)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 to 3 cups canola, corn or grapeseed oil, for frying
2 packages shrimp chips (banh phong tom)
1 1/2 pounds picked Dungeness crabmeat, divided
Celery sticks, for serving
Orange slices, for serving

Steps:

  • For the mayonnaise: In a large bowl, add egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce. Whisk to combine. Slowly begin adding the oil while whisking constantly, making sure oil is fully incorporating and stopping frequently until each little bit is emulsified into the egg yolk mixture. If it becomes too thick, a little drizzle of water can be added as necessary until all of the oil has been incorporated. When all of the oil has been whisked in, and the mayonnaise is creamy and luscious, season to taste with salt. Set aside.
  • For the shrimp chips: Heat 2 inches of oil in a 6-quart saucepan. Clip in a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the shrimp chips until puffy, about 1 minute. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • For the crab and assembly: Place 3/4 of the crab in a mixing bowl and toss with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the homemade mayonnaise. Serve dressed crab alongside the remaining undressed crab with a bowl of the mayonnaise and a pile of shrimp chips on the side. Garnish with celery sticks and orange slices.

CHARLESTON CRAB CRACK



Charleston Crab Crack image

A traditional crab crack is one of my family's favorite things to make when we all get together. After the crab is boiled, you dump it out on a table covered with newspaper and everyone digs in and gets crackin'. A little drawn butter and some homemade cocktail sauce is all you need to serve with the sweet blue crabs.

Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen crabs plus 1 3/4 cups cocktail sauce

Number Of Ingredients 11

Two 12-ounce cans beer
One 6-ounce can seafood seasoning, plus more for serving
2 Vidalia onions, coarsely chopped
2 dozen live blue crabs
Melted butter, for serving
1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crabs: Place a large pot of water over medium-high heat outside or indoors. (I like to use a Low Country boil/turkey frying pot.) Add the beer, seafood seasoning and onion and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes to season and allow the flavors to develop.
  • For the cocktail sauce: While the water boils, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt if desired.
  • Add the crabs to the boiling water. Cook until the crabs are reddish-orange and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the crabs and spread on a table covered with newspaper or butcher paper. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning. Serve with melted butter and the cocktail sauce.
