This dish is inspired from my father and mother hometown New Orleans, Louisiana. The capital of jazz and southern seafood cuisine. 🦀🦞🦐

Awesome!!!

Everybody has a way of seasoning there broth.. The legs u buy in the frozen section are already cooked so this only warms and seasons them... I do not let them boil to long and try not to submerge in the water... But this recipe is very flavorful...

As a "vegetarian/hopeful vegan," I am a big fan of tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, or any sandwich that involves dairy as opposed to "lunch meat" aka processed & cured pork! 🙄👌 My honey loves crab. Especially, imitation crab which I personally am opposed to, but he is constantly bringing home asking me to "make stuff" with. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️😩😄 This is a great way to sneak in extra vegetables! 👌😏😎👍 Nom! Nom! #crab #crabsalad #crabmeat #crabsaladsandwich #crabsandwich #seafoodsalad #seafoodlunch #seafood

Okay, I have a strange love for imitation crab. It's not very good.. and I love it anyway. I hated it as a kid, and for some odd reason I have craved it daily for the passed 6 months or so. I know, something might be wrong with me ;)

I enjoy seafood but not always the strong "sea" flavor that can occasionally be present. I like to play with the flavor of the meat and crab is one of my favorites.

The egg sack of the crab and the innards are delicious! This is something I always make during winter. Boiled king crab is also delicious, but I absolutely think this broth is much more of a treat. Even though they are rather thin, the trunk and legs are both loaded with succulent juices.Please use fresh live crab. You will not get succulent juices from boiled crab. You don't need to add dashi stock, but if you feel the flavor is not to your taste, then add it. If you have leftover broth, try adding to rice porridge. The broth will transform into yet another delicious dish! For serving 2. Recipe by tomimo

This is a basic recipe. Add spices as you wish. I like the sriracha for heat, but you could do green chilies, cayenne pepper, jalapeno, etc. or just do garlic & lemon juice. Lots of possibilities.

Wanted to try something new. My own version of a cheaper Joe's crab :-) has a kick to it.

I had some crab and green onions I needed to use up so daughter made crab cakes as I made crab salad. I am a big vegetable eater, so I always try to think of new ways to serve vegetables. Maybe try some tomatoes in it too, I didn't because my daughter is allergic to tomatoes while I love them.

Dungeness fresh crab season is closed for 2022. Imitation crab is a great substitute, called surimi, it is made from mild pollock fish, some King Crab meat and crab juice for flavor, and tapioca starch for firmness. This is a special treat luncheon recipe, mild to spicy, as you prefer. Serve with cold dark Steam Beer or lemonade.
