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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups lump crabmeat (about 1 pound)
1 cup prepared mayonnaise
4 teaspoons chili sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 scallions, finely chopped
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Hot sauce, to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1 hard-boiled egg
4 to 8 Bibb lettuce leaves, washed and dried
4 thick slices beefsteak tomatoes
1 ripe avocado, seeded, peeled, and quartered lengthwise

Steps:

  • Using your finger, carefully pick through the crab and discard any bits of shell or hard cartilage. Try to leave the lumps as intact as possible. Put the meat in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, bell pepper, lemon juice, 1/2-teaspoon salt, scallion, a couple dashes Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Season the dressing with pepper to taste.
  • Gently fold about 1/4 cup of the dressing into the crab with a rubber spatula. Take care not to break the crab into smaller pieces. Put the crab salad and the dressing in the refrigerator until cold.
  • Meanwhile, put the hard-boiled egg in a fine sieve set over a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, rub the egg through mesh to make a fine textured garnish. Set aside.
  • Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates. Top each with a tomato slice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place an avocado quarter across each tomato slice and top with 1/4 of the crab mixture. Spoon some of the dressing over the crab and sprinkle each salad with some of the egg. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

Found the original recipe in Cooking for Two Magazine by Alice Cibulka. I have added a few ingredients and it is a quick and easy refreshing salad for two! I serve on lettuce leaves or serve on chopped lettuce. This along with some bread makes a light and delicious lunch or dinner. Chill time is cooking time.
