But this time I decided to munch on chips while thinking about what else to make, amazing how 5 pieces of tortilla chips gave me one hour of patience while experimenting with the crabs! LOL
Some barbecue crabs, some I heard bake them? I don't know about that haha, I wonder what the kitchen will smell like after.
I always start cooking crabs by adding some crushed garlic to the water and then let it boil.
I love anything with mild tart or sour flavor, esp with seafood...
so I added a tamarind soup mix to cook the crabs
Crabs done, now what ? :)
Time to break the shell and take the delicious meat out
I wanted something spicy, bursting with exotic flavors to go with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc..
In a pan, I sautéed garlic in olive oil, big slices of onions, then let it cook
And then I added the crab meat.
I poured 1 cup of the water that I cooked the crabs in, then let boil
I lowered the heat and then added a $2.49 Red Thai Curry Sauce - 1/2 of the 11 oz. bottle
Added Okra - I love Okra! I simmered it for 10 minutes.
I used frozen because I had no fresh ones available, it turned out great.
I think Green Beans or Squash and some bell peppers will also be good addition to the dish
Or replacement to the Okra.
Sprinkled dill, and dried basil leaves
Added salt and pepper to taste.
I enjoyed it with Basmati Rice. (' ',)
Cooking is self- expression, definitely should not be viewed as a task.
If I mess up with my cooking, seafood or not, I don't stress out!
That's where the fun is, messing it up and learning from experience
If the dish is impossible to save, grab a bowl of cereal and then call it a night
I've had those days... Luckily now my dishes turns out yummy :)
Share your delicious crab dish!
