GINATAANG ALIMASAG (CRABS IN COCONUT MILK)



Ginataang Alimasag (Crabs in Coconut Milk) image

Growing up in the Philippines, my dad would catch a lot of crab, and this was my favorite dish he'd make with it. It's a cross between a sauce and a stew, curry-like in texture and rich with flavors of the sea; think coconut milk, fish sauce, and shrimp paste, cut with the sharpness of ginger and scallions. Enjoy with freshly steamed white rice.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 whole Dungeness crabs
½ cup garlic oil
½ cup sliced garlic
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 cup thinly sliced ginger rounds, with skin on
½ cup bias-sliced scallions, whites only
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 (8.75 ounce) jar sauteed shrimp paste (such as Kamayan)
5 Thai chiles, sliced into thin rings
1 ½ quarts coconut milk
½ quart water, or more as needed
1 bunch fresh spinach
½ cup bias-sliced scallions, greens only

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop crabs in and cook until shells turn bright red, 8 to 10 minutes. Plunge crabs into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat a large wok over medium-high heat and add garlic oil. Stir in garlic and cook until lightly toasted and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and ginger and saute until onion is translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallion whites. Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper.
  • Add fish sauce and let infuse for 1 minute. Stir in shrimp paste and toast for about 3 minutes. Add Thai chiles; saute for 1 minute more. Pour in coconut milk and water. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes, adding more water if too dry.
  • Meanwhile, break open the crab. Add to the sauce along with any accumulated juices. Simmer until flavors meld, 8 to 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in spinach and let wilt. Garnish with scallion greens.
