Marinated Crab Claw Cocktail image

Categories Crab

Yield serves 12 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
6 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 medium lemons)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, or 2 teaspoons fresh, chopped
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic)
2 (16-ounce) cans pasteurized blue crabmeat fingers
Toasted or plain sourdough baguette slices, for serving (optional)

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the onion, bell peppers, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, oil, salt, and seafood seasoning. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Add the crab claws and gently stir them in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. This is best if marinated overnight. Remove the cocktail from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving. Just before serving, stir gently to mix all the ingredients. Serve with sliced baguettes, lightly toasted or not, as your mood strikes.
