Cracked Crab With Caviar Dipping Sauce Food

CHARLESTON CRAB CRACK

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.

FAMOUS ROAST GARLIC CRAB

Steps:

• Cleaning dungeness crab:
• Holding the body backside up, place your right thumb in the joint between the upper and lower shell on the side opposite the mouth. Your palm will be stretched across the top of the shell. Hold the bottom of the crab in your opposite hand. Force your thumb in and pull up and back to your right until shell snaps off. Pour any juices in the shell into a small bowl. Cut the body into quarters with a large knife. Twist the legs off the body. Crack lightly in several places with a nutcracker and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a very large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. (You may need 2 pans.) Add the crab and garlic, and toss well. Saute for about 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and mix in lemon juice. Saute for another 5 minutes, then add parsley. After another 1 or 2 minutes, remove the crab and serve in the newspaper lined cans.

CRAB STICK CRACKERS WITH CRAB DIP

Steps:

• For the crab stick crackers: Unroll and pull each crab stick into 1/2- to 1-inch-wide strips. Lay the strips out in a single layer, spacing them apart, between paper towels and firmly press down to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
• For the crab dip: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Shred each crab stick by placing on a work surface and raking a fork along the length of the stick to create long strands. Chop crosswise into 1-inch lengths and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese with the mayonnaise and sour cream in a large bowl and stir until smooth. Stir in the Cheddar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sugar, pepper and juice of half a lemon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sliced scallion greens for serving, then stir in the remaining scallions and the chopped crab sticks until thoroughly combined. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake until golden on top and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• Working in three batches, gently toss a third of the crab stick strips with 1 tablespoon of the potato starch in a large bowl until lightly dusted. Drop each strip into the hot oil and fry undisturbed for 1 minute so the starch can firm up. Gently separate the strips from each other using tongs with a slotted spoon or spider. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Let cool completely.
• Garnish the hot crab dip with the reserved scallion greens and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges. Serve the crab stick crackers with the dip and lemon wedges and enjoy.

CAVIAR DIP

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese until smooth. With the mixer on medium speed, add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, scallion, milk, salt, and pepper. With a rubber spatula, fold in 3/4 of the salmon roe. Spoon the dip into a bowl and garnish with the remaining salmon roe and sprigs of fresh dill.
• Serve with chips, toasts, or crackers.

CAJUN CRAB DIP

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Cajun Seasoning, garlic and Italian Seasoning in processor or with electric mixer.
• Gently fold in cheddar cheese, onions and crab.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours and adjust seasonings as desired.

SNOW CRAB LEGS WITH DIPPING SAUCES

MARINATED CRACKED CRAB

• Mix the above items together and pour over the crab.
• Mix well.

• Let marinate for several hours to over night in the refrigerator, mixing well every couple of hours.
• I usually do 7-8 crabs so just increase the measurements accordingly. Make sure you serve with some San Francisco sourdough bread frest from the bakery. Its very nice to mop us the juice thats left from the marinate. Please let me know what you think. Please enjoy.
