Fresh Crab Meat & Chilli Garlic Pasta

This is a fresh crab and garlic linguine packed with flavours. Rich and garlicky, with a hint of heat from the chilli. Moist and full flavour comes from the brown crab meat and parley-garlic-olive oil sauce. Freshness! No cream! The result was fantastic! 🙌
NOTE: Fresh brown and white crab meat will be available at your local fishmonger and it is usually already cooked.

The Pacific Ocean Annual Crab Fishing Season opened monday, the fishing boats were back last night, and fresh live crab started selling this morning.We bought two live large crabs, 1 1/2 pound each, to make all of the following twelve dinners. We brought them home to cook and serve a dinner of cracked claws and legs with homemade mayo and fresh baked sour dough french bread. Shells were reused to make crab chowder soup with the body meat of one crab. We then use the cooked body meat from the other crab to make crab salad on sandwiches. Here are the recipes.Used discarded and pulverized crab, shrimp and lobster shells make great year round fertilizer in your vegetable garden. Hobby Horseman -

Crab Cakes Made with Imitation Crab Crab Cakes Made with Imitation Crab
Originally, this is an American dish made with a large amount of crab. It's delicious, but using that much crab meat is impractical. However, in Japan, we have imitation crab!The story behind this recipe: I love crab cakes, but crab is expensive. So, when I saw imitation crab that looks just like the real thing at the supermarket, I thought, 'This might work!' I tried it out. I used green onions because I ran out of regular onions, and it turned out light. Using regular onions would add more sweetness and flavor. ぴよぴよにすと3Translated from Cookpad Japan -
Easy Crab and Tomato Cream Spaghetti Easy Crab and Tomato Cream Spaghetti
Crab means tomato cream sauce to me, so I thought this was a great way to use up leftover crab meat.I wanted to highlight the flavor of the crab, so I didn't add Krazy Salt as I usually do to tomato sauce, but add it if you prefer. Don't mix the sauce too much after adding the crab meat - it won't fall apart as much and you can enjoy the texture more.A previous version of this recipe used a soup stock cube, but I discovered that adding the brown meat or butter from the crab made the sauce really tasty. If you like the brown meat, please be sure to add it! Recipe by Ki-ta cookpad.japan -
